Jude - Here is a copy of my own line that does the same thing in that file, except I use ttyS2 (com3) and irq 11. ${SETSERIAL} /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x3E8 irq 11 ${STD_FLAGS} The variables in braces are defined earlier in the file. Make sure that all other references to your device are commented out elsewhere in the file!! Important! Chuck. On Sun, 4 Jun 2000, Jude T.
