Been watching the thread and wonder if the following will help since I am running Slack10.2, 2.6.13 on one machine: BIOS boot reports standard Com1 Com2 parameters.. Default.. Linux 2.6.13 boot; setserial /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 reports exact same parameters; normal.. Both UART 16550A.. The on board LSI chip seemingly AOK.. I see no mention of /dev/tts anywhere on my machine.. dmesg reports standard ttyS0 and ttyS1, normal.. This is the bundled kernel that Slackware calls test26. If I hang an external modem on either port; normal.. Probably no help, just a thought.. -- Hal - in Terra Alta, WV/US - Slackware GNU/Linux 10.1 (2.4.29) . - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
