As explained earlier, a complete beginner would have even more trouble understanding the configuration required on other platforms. On Windows, you also have to select "COMx" in the device list even though you are using a device connected via the USB bus. > It is possibly just a problem of documentation, maybe the attached > patch would be enough. That is a good idea, I think documenting things can never hurt. The serial autodetection problem is very very old. It hasn't really changed, serial devices will always need a bit of user know how to get up and running. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
