Thank you for your response. I was wondering if there any way of testing whether the device attached to COM1, is receiving any data. I have done ls-al /dev/com1 and I see the file. However, how can I verify that the device attached is receiving any data. Any idea? Any utilities provided to monitor the serial port?
