[SuSE Linux] Serial configuration
Hello, Does anyone know how to configure serial ports in Linux? How can you tell if your serial irq' etc are OK? I've tried stty but can't make much sense of it. How do you recompile serial.o? Tried all sorts but can't get it to work but commes back with 'No such rule in Rules.make'. I'm still desperately trying to get my serial comms to work so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry this is coming out of Windows. I had to do some bookkeeping and it's all still here. John, I was given a lot of advice on this matter from the folks at <A HREF="http://www.worldvisions.ca"><A HREF="http://www.worldvisions.ca</A">http://www.worldvisions.ca</A</A>> regarding how to use wvdial. To direct a serial port (modem in my case) the command is: etserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 5 (as an example....could be ttySwhatever or cua, and so on) I had to place this in /sbin/init.d/serial to add the right command to the boot sequence. I hope this helps. Steve *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 9/7/98, at 4:51 PM, John Chajecki wrote:

And.... To see how they are set, here is an example: etserial /dev/ttyS2 autoconfig auto_irq -v This will return the port that is assigned. What got confusing to me is that ttyS0 is the same as com1, ttyS1 matches com2, and so forth. Always the number ahead of what you expect. Come on, standardization.

Actually, it's ms-dos which doesn't understand standards. Starting to count at 0 has been the way to go since somebody thought that binary might be the way to go with computers. On Mon, 7 Sep 1998, Steve Mills wrote:

The shell script /etc/rc.d/serial should contain everything that you need to configure your serial ports. Just un-comment the lines you need. Your custom configuration will be set on boot-up. I use this script to configure my /dev/cua2 which is on a non-standard IRQ. -Ben - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
