All,
I'm trying to connect to a Compaq StorageWorks SAN Switch 8 over the serial port, that is using a null-modem cable. And I'm not getting anywhere. I use minicom on the host system, have tried all the baudrates, played with hardware and software flowcontrol, but I'm just not getting anything from the switch.
Does the port work with other serial devices? Check that it hasn't been disabled in the BIOS? Do you have a breakout box so you can test the port and cable? Are you sure it needs a null-modem? Do you get anything on your screen? Do you see any response on the switch?

I'd try a "loop-back" by first jumpering p2 and p3 on the 9-pin null-modem cable, then make sure minicom is echoing what you type. You might not have the correct /dev/ttySx set up in minicom. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
