Also, is the cable pin-out correct even for the Rx and Tx pins? There are weird recombinations of male-female and DCE-DTE pin-out used by different manufacturers. The easiest way to check is to get a port tester (a pass-through BOX with LEDs) from some place like Radioshack. The correct Unix cable connection is Tx - Rx DTR - DSR, CD CTS - RTS (and the other side symmetric). Many cable manufacturers use different (wrong) connections. -SB _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
