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. I've been googling a lot and haven't really come up with anything solid. I've even got the switch manuals, but they don't say else besides "connect the serial cable". So on the off chance that someone here might just know how this story goes .... /Per Jessen, Zürich -- 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
