Probably, but I doubt that's going to help you. You've rebooted both devices, which most assuredly clears any buffers associated with the serial ports. I'm going to guess that there's something different between the config that was working and the config you're using now. The most likely suspects are the serial port parameters. Double check your baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control. In particular, if one end is expecting flow control and the other end is not configured to provide it, things will sit there forever not flowing. You might also want to have your on-site people check for a loose cable. Maybe something got bumped while they were power cycling things. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
