open a terminal window & type in "minicom -s" set the parameters as required to match your target quit/exit minicom now type in "minicom" & start your target you may also need to chmod or chown your serial tty device to access the serial port as a "regular" user. HTH, Jay PS - thought I'd try this before sending the mail, but appears my 5.2.1 BSD doesn't have minicom :( So - you may need to install it from the ports collection. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
