Hello, I was wrong: more systematic testing revealed that the same thing occurred with the net4801 as well. So it looks like either cu 1.07-19ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 6.10 is broken, or my only laptop with a serial port is slowly falling apart (can't find out which is the problem right now due to no PC with 6.10, and no time for installing it). Hasn't anyone else had this problem with U6.10?
Soekris net5501 is OK. Hope I didn't scare Soren;) Bill On Mon, 2007-10-22 at 18:36 +0200, Bill Maas wrote: > Hello, > > judging from the storm of replies I assume that I have a _real_ problem > here?? > > >>> I get trown off the serial line while entering input during POST <<< > > (never mind the typo..)
