Hi Rafael,
you probably only have to configure the third serial port COM3 in 'DOS
language' or '/dev/ttyS2' for Linux.
To do this make sure the 'setserial'-package is installed. Then open the
file '/etc/rc.boot/0setserial' with your favourite editor. Goto the line
that says:
#${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 ${AUTO_IRQ} skip_test autoconfig
${STD_FLAGS}
and remove the comment sign '#'.
You might also want to set a higher interface speed. Consult the
setserial manpage with 'man setserial'
Execute the script - reboot or just type
'/etc/rc.boot/0setserial<enter>'. (Is there a reason why the latter
shouldn't work?)
That's it! The only thing you need is a decent terminal program like
'minicom' or 'seyon'.
Just a remark: In case you want to use the serial driver in the kernel
as a module it is important to use the standard values for io and irq.
And I'm not sure if this will work for COM3 and COM4 at all when using a
module. (Probably it does - anybody has more knowledge on this?)
Regards,
Andree
