Hi Even that I have never worked with palm, I could have a try... In "/var/log/messages" what do You see when You try to communicate with palm? Run "dir /dev/ttyS*", and have a look at access rights (owner, group and rw-access). I have crw-rw---- root, uucp on my computer. You should at least belong to group uucp to be able to access the serial port. ttyS0 equals to com1 in DOS. I have Compaq aero 1500, and just did a test. I could see communication with "minicom" from ttyS0, 9600 baud, so it should work if I had some software that talks Compaq... but I don't. Jaska. On Monday 30 September 2002 09:10, Nick Selby wrote:
Since no one seemed to notice this one let me clarify. My machine is an HP Pavillion 5270 running Suse 8. I'm trying to get the serial port to talk to my palm device.
