You quoted ttys1, note it should be ttyS0 that's capital S. I just tested minicom on y system as root. The sequence to change the parameters is Ctrl-A z p a q Ctrl-A o (scrol down 2 lines for serial port configuration) where you can make changes. Under A is Serial Device : /dev/ttyS0 (on my system) E - Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1 F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes G - Software Flow Control : No As root you should be able to create minicomrc.dfl. If you want to use minicom program you might need to change the ownership of /dev/ttyS0 to other user or chmod 666 it. If minicom doesn't work you may try program kermit. I used both to connect PC with linux to serial ports on Sun servers. > John > On Tue, 29 Jan 2002, Janina > Sajka wrote: > > > John: > > > > Can you use the source available at: > > > > http://www.zapatatelephony.org/ > > > > On Tue, 29 Jan 2002, John J.
