I initially assumed something might actually reconfigure the serial port in the IPL, but I can't find any evidence in support. I think I am seeing two problems: 1) Pasting strings doesn't work on either the PDC console or the IPL/Linux console. 2) Whereas typing on the PDC console works fine, even at some speed, the same is not true for the IPL/Linux console, which lose many characters along the way, and act as if the connection is temporarily lost. Switching the client side terminal program (I tested with minicom, picocom, screen) makes no difference. Do serial cables deteriorate over time? :-) Regards, jer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
