A quick google suggests "minicom" and "GTKTerm" as more usable linux serial port terminal programs. It appears that GTKTerm is already installed on a default Ubuntu system. Not sure if that's true on a Fluxbuntus system. What I'm suggesting is that you attempt to connect to your D700 using the terminal program and verify that you can see the "cmd:" prompt showing up when the D700 is in PKT mode and you hit enter on the keyboard. If so, then there's nothing wrong with the serial port, and something wrong with how xastir is configured to talk to the serial port. If not, then the problem is outside xastir and needs to be troubleshot elsewhere. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
