I have a mac modem to 25 pin serial cable, linked to a null modem (though I hhave tried without the null modem also) connector, then I have tried plugging it into the back of a pc, the back of my pismo (with a keyspan usb to serial cable) and to a serial mouse. None of these seem to do anything, and I also cant type or see anything when booting amachine and tryying to get into OF. What am I doing wrong? Running minicom with 38400 8N1 on the mac and the pc or pismo, I cant type at either end or see anything. When i have the mouse plugged in and cat /dev/ttyS0 or minicom running I also see nothing. As mentioned I have tried all this both with and without the null modem connected in the middle. See You Steve -- sjh@wibble.net http://wibble.net/~sjh Look Up In The Sky Is it a bird?
