Dear Jack,
Than you so much for the response. I referred the documents that you
sent. Initially we were trying with minicom to the booting process but it
didn't work. Then we used putty and did the soloboot through that. It has
worked now. Our Roach2 is up and running now. Thanks again for your help.
