Hi Hansen, try this:
# apt-get install cu # chown uucp /dev/ttyS0 # cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 19200 You can probably imagine that the values for the local serial port (/dev/ttyS0) and the transfer rate (19200) are just examples. You will also probably have to run the chown command after each reboot on Ubuntu. The penalty for not doing so will be: cu: open (/dev/ttyS0): Permission denied cu: /dev/ttyS0: Line in use The advantage of using cu(1) is that you can rule out various quirks and omissions in the configuration of high-level programs like minicom themselves. It's only when you need to use stty(1) for changing terminal settings that you might want to go back to one of those UI programs, but the standard terminal settings on Ubuntu should be quite reasonable in most cases. Please send the terminal output if this still doesn't work. You can capture cu's output by simple shell redirection: # cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 19200 | tee soekris.out There are more fancy ways to do this, but they're not much more practical. Try removing the control characters inserted by the shell (^M etc) before you paste the input file's contents into your message. Look here for directions on how to do this in vi[m]: http://todayslearnings.blogspot.com/2009/02/remove-control-m-chars-in-unix-by-using.html Please don't be offended if that's something you've done a thousand times before, it's just that you're not giving a lot of details, so I can't tell from here. Another thing you could try is to use a strict 3-wire null-modem cable without any non-standard connections between the pins on the same connector. I had trouble with an off-the-shelf "null-modem cable for STB's" which turned out to be wired up in mysterious ways, and caused the RTS/CTS hardware flow control lines to lock up the connection.
