IBM thinkpad A22 serial ports and debian

[John Lindsay]

I have installed Debian on my Thinkpad A22. Seems to be working fine 
except for the wireless.  I also have Wine installed as I want to run an 
executable program that downloads a file to an FTA receiver via the 
serial port. Do I need to 'turn on' the serial port under Linux or would 
it already be operational? I keep getting a Fail message when ever I try 
to download the bin. The FTA receiver is set to receive files via the 
serial port. Turning the receiver off and on and setting the unit to 
receive via the serial port doesn't make any difference.

Hopefully some one can help.
John
