Hi all, This sure feels like a blast from the past :) I'm trying to figure out how to use com ports to communicate between two fedora boxes. I've figured out how to set the flow rate (stty /dev/ttyS0 115200) and to send data: I have an 80k text file that I "cat textfile > /dev/ttyS0" and by measuring the TX pin I see the voltage change from -11.34v to +4.4v for about 10 seconds. Seems to be working. The problem comes on the other end of the wire. The receiving machine is connected by a "null modem" cable. It seems that standard redirection should work but I can't figure out the proper shell syntax. Input should listen to /dev/ttyS0 and whenever something is received be sent to /dev/stdout. Any takers? Should be fun ;D Thanx, Mike Wright -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
