Subject: Re: Serial port on IBM Thinkpad.
-the serial ports on thinkpads can be configured in bios in three different
-ways: Enabled, Disabled and OS Controlled. In my experience, switching the
-serial port from OS Controlled (the default) to Enabled solved the
-problems - you might want to try that.
I searched the BIOS (pressing F1 key during the boot) but never seen these
three possibilities... All I saw was boot configuration and some options regarding
networking etc...
How could one get into this configuration?
I tried tpctl to enable and configure the port and setserial to configure the driver,
but minicom still does not connect... (the peer computer is proven alive as I manage to connect to it from
another station).
-then again, this might not be the problem, as setserial does recognize one
-port. if you have windows on the machine, does the serial port work in it?
Yes, in Windows it works, and Windows report it ot be COM2, 'cause COM1 is occupied
by modem (built-in)...
