Hi, got minicom setup. BTW, I'm using an intel motherboard with a PIII cpu. I got a bad null modem cable, but had a question about setting up minicom. How do I know which port (serial) is the DB9 connector on the motherboard?
output from setserial gives ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS4 /dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0xffffffff, IRQ: 0
There is a modem in a PCI slot, but it doesn't show up in the hardware browser. Should it? Could this be ttyS0 or ttyS1 ?
From the output of setserial, I'd say you had two serial ports (ttyS0 and ttyS1) because it was able to identify the uart and 16550A is definitely a real one. The only way to really know which physical port is which is to plug something into it, like an external modem and try to talk to the modem with minicom. The hardware browser might be able to identify a modem connected to the serial port, but I've never tried it.
