      Yes, sure,  cause I  can see all  the  configuration settings on  the
   screen.  :-)) But I will do some changes on  the cable perhaps a version
   with only 1,2,3 and 7 connected will give some better results.

       Nothing is done  in rc.serial. I  typed in the default commands, but
   nothing changed.

       Perhaps  you  can  mail   me  the  section.  I've    also  read  the
   current-handbook chapter, but no further idea.

   Thanks and ciao
