Hi, Vittorio! Your kernel settings look similar to mine... so I doubt that's the problem. Would you please post the results to the following commands. These may help to diagnose your problem. $ dmesg | grep -i seri $ ls -ld /dev/ttyS* $ ls -ld /dev/tts/* Also: Is your serial port a standard, built-in port? Or perhaps are you using one of those USB-to-RS232 converters? Or even a PCMCIA modem? Peace, Gabriel -- G a b r i e l M . B e d d i n g f i e l d -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
