I followed the instructions in the handbook for setting up a serial
console, however when I start up my serial software on the windows 98
machine (CRT) all I see is garbage characters. According to the
debugging section of the handbook that indicates a mismatch in baud or
parity, but I've double double checked and the windows side is all
9600,8,N,1; and I'm using the std.9600 gettytab, all according to the
instructions. I did try changing the number of data bits and the stop
bit, and I could with certain combinations get a local echo in clear
text, but that was as close as I got. I should point out that I haven't
rebooted yet, but according to the handbook page I shouldn't have to?
So, any suggestions on what to look at or change would be well
appreciated. On the com2 system icon on the windows machine I have:
9600, 8, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
On the CRT setup screen I have:
9600, 8, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Also, if anyone knows of a good freeware serial emulator for windows
I'd appreciate a pointer to that as well. :)
Thanks,
Doug
