well, you might have to plug it in and then open a console and type lsmod at the prompt. If it's a known device, it should show up in there. then all you would need to do is configure a com port. btw, as a comparison, use the lsmod command before you plug in and then check after. if it is recognized, you would see an additional module or 2 running. -eric On May 29, 2017, at 10:59 AM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Mark Peveto here. > Since only one machine i hae here has a serial port, I got a couple serial to usb converters.
