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

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.
That was a typo in my first post. I am using /dev/ttyS0 - with a bit S :)
I have also noticed that there's no tty* in "dmesg | grep tty" or grep
tty /var/log/demsg
could this be the problem / reason? I'm running CentOS 5.1 x64 with Xen
3.0 kernel
