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 -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** Like desperadoes waiting for a train . . .
