I've configured minicom to use the serial port, and have configured minicom to use the port with 9600 8N1, but (stupid user level question...) how do I actually connect?

Just for the record, I've verified that my null-modem cable works between two Linux machines: cat < /dev/ttyS0 # on machine 1 echo hello > /dev/ttyS0 # on machine 2 hello # on machine 1 Best regards, | George Karaolides Planitis Communications Ltd., | | tel: +357 22 45 65 00 Office 102, 11 Florinis Street, | | web: www.planitis.net Nicosia CY 1065, | | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Republic of Cyprus. |
