I have a problem switch in our data centre, which is connected to a

trying to access it using minicom just doesn't seem to work.
I have changed the comms in minincom to use /dev/tty0 & the baud
rate to 9600, yet I can't seem to connect with minicom. Does anyone
know how to connect to a serial device from the console?
....dissertation on kermit deleted....
his problem is that he used /dev/tty0 and not the serial port
/dev/ttyS0 note the big S. very important. /dev/tty0 is some
kinda pseudothing. /dev/ttyS0 is the serial port known as COM1: in PC
terms.
