Hi All, This is kind of involved, so thanks in advance to you helpful souls out there... The Problem: I can't seem to get the serial port to work right. The setup: I've got a three wire serial cable hooked up to COM1 (cuaa0). The other end is hooked up to an AIX (:P) host. I know the cable is working, 'cuz I get a login prompt on it from the AIX host on it when I plug it into a PC. I've been trying various settings on cuaa0, cuaia0 and cuala0 using "cu -l /dev/cuaa0" to connect to the port. I saw the prompt _once_ when I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in, so I know the port works, it's just not set up quite right. What I've tried: I've tried just about every setting I can think of, including clocal and -crtscts. The three devices for one port are kind of confusing, I'm not even sure half the time if what I'm doing is having any effect.... do I need to reboot for changes in cuala0 to work? What I need (aside from 4 Advils): I need to know the which settings to use and which device to set. Once I get it set I'm going to leave the connection set up permanently, so using cuala0 would be ok (i guess).... Thanks a zillion :) Henry Stapp
