Hey guys. I installed Jaunty Netbook Remix on my netbook this morning, and it's great.
I want to configure Cisco switches with it. I "made" a USB console cable that I've been using under Windows, and it works great. Windows sees it as COM3, I point PuTTY at COM3 and I'm golden. Under Ubuntu, it's not working. I can see that the cable is recognized as ttyUSB0. I'm running minicom at 9600, 8N1, and pointing it at /dev/ttyUSB0. But all the screen does is flash. I press Enter and get nothing. well, on this site [http://www.cromwell-intl.com/tcpip/switch-programming.html] I see that it says to use /dev/usb/ttyUSB0. So I set it to that, and it still flashes constantly, but when I press Enter, I can see the hostname of the switch for half a second before it flashes and is gone. Interestingly, when I open minicom with the config file that points to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0, it says there's no such device. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
