Hi, I am experiencing some odd behavior with the cu serial line command.
>From a (non-X11) terminal I am able to connect to the serially connected sparc using 'sudo cu -l cua00' or 'sudo cu -l tty00'. This is what I would expect. When using X windows 'sudo cu -l cua00' presents the following: ---8<--- /dev/cua00: Device busy link down ---8<--- When using X windows 'sudo cu -l tty00' reports that it is connected, but does not work. No login prompt is displayed upon hitting return as one would expect. I have looked at the output of stty on both setups, they differ: ---8<--- --- /tmp/A Tue Feb 12 09:47:20 2008 +++ /tmp/B Tue Feb 12 09:47:11 2008 @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ -speed 9600 baud; -lflags: echoe echoke echoctl pendin +speed 38400 baud; +lflags: echoe echok echoke echoctl pendin cflags: cs8 -parenb ---8<--- This lead me to think that perhaps X was picking up that 38400. Unfortunately not the case: ---8<--- sudo cu -s 9600 -l cua00 /dev/cua00: Device busy link down ---8<--- Does anyone have any ideas? I am sure I used to use cu in X. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
