Looks like the cable or terminal options are not proper for hardware flow control. The following works for my HP 200LX palmtop with a wireless infrared link. This is necessary because the host does not get carrier detect from the port. s2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 19200 ttyS1 vt100 If that works, then you may want to find an RS-232 breakout box and use the status lights and jumpers to nail down the proper cable pinout. In the olden days, I couldn't be caught without one. There were so many variations between serial devices and host ports. You may be able to run fine with the -L option if your terminal has adequate buffer memory or you drop the baud rate. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Linux CD's sent worldwide! + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
