I don't really know, but I know in testing some devices, like pl2303 ones, using echo and cat do not work reliably. But using minicom and other test tools that talk to a serial port work just fine. I haven't really spent the time to look into it, as anyone who has reported this problem, hasn't had problems using a "real" serial program. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
