This is 5.2/i386 on an IBM Thinkpad T40. As this laptop does not have
a serial port, I bought me this USB-to-serial gizmo:

I am trying to an ALIX running current/i386.
>From a machine with a serial port, I connect as
cu -l /dev/cua00 -38400
and it works fine. The baudrate is indeed 38400;
it is set so on the ALIX, and /etc/boot/conf says
stty com0 38400
set tty com0
Now from this Thinkpad, I try to connect with
cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -38400
That say 'Connected', but nothing else happens.
I can see a garbled login screen such as
kXKMr/i386 (gw.stare.cz) (tty00)
login:
-i
I usually see something like that with a wrong baudrate.
There is no reaction to nothing.
All I can do is ~. to disconnect.
What kind of problem is this?
Can my ucom do 38400? How do I find out?
Would it make sense to try other baudrates
(on both the ALIX and my end, obviously)?
Is anybody using an USB-to-serial connection to an ALIX?
