Is there a preferred alternative? I vaguely remember using some sort of 'call device' like 'cua0' in cu that corresponded to ttyS0 with an invocation like: cu -l /dev/cua0
I've tried the above and "cu -l /dev/ttyS0" and neither work
It really helps if you do a 'modprobe 8250' before hand (not that this is crystal clear, BTW). For some reason, I thought when my hardware was probed, it would find and load drivers corresponding to my hardware. I guess that's not entirely true? Anyway, loading the standard serial port drivers made 'cu' "magically" start working: cu -l ttyS0 -s 38400 was/is all that was needed. I looked over screen and minicom. Guess I should have been more specific -- I wanted a command-line tty interface. Screen & minicom are both curses based and take over the window they are in. Using cu and specifying the line as above requires no configuration or setup (just loading the dang drivers!) :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
