OK, I installed cu, but when I try: cu /dev/cua0 or /dev/ttyS0 I always get: cu: /dev/cua0: System not found ( I get more or less the same message during boot!) I tried recompiling and installing the kernel with serial support and even rebuild and reinstalled the modules but it still doesn't work. Any idea what could be wrong?
