Hi, Well . I did much the same as you did, 1) I looked for the address and IRQ by : cat /proc/pci 2) set the port by : setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq port autoconfig It did not work. I got a device buzzy message all the time. So I started to play with the port changed the address, deleted it

Hi Oded, They can ask for $1000 for kylix because they got the best compiler for Linux in the market right now for their product. period. From what I hear (from beta testers, not sales people), btw, is that their C++ compiler that they'll release later this year, will leave the gcc far behind

This is very sad, IMO. That means that they're charging $1000 for a Win32 non-port of their Delphi environment (which you can buy for less then $100). I understand that it took them quite a while to develop the compiler, and if their Win32 products are any indication , its probably one hell of a c
