Kevin, thanks
that was the 1st thing I've done, set it to 2400 8N1
after that, I've set h/w hs to 'off' [was 'on']
A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyS0
│
B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock
C - Callin Program :
D - Callout Program :
E - Bps/Par/Bits : 2400 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control : No
G - Software Flow Control : No
looks like it's an old UART:
# dmesg | grep 825
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
8250_pnp: Unknown symbol serial8250_unregister_port
8250_pnp: Unknown symbol serial8250_register_port
# dmesg | grep tty
Xen virtual console successfully installed as ttyS0
is there some kind of 'port monitor' I can use ?
