Re: Using serial port
Glad it's working for you. Yes, I too was a Procomm user. There was also a ProcommPlus for DOS back in the day even before the Windows version. It was simply a little more robust. And remember Telix!? I never liked it, but a lot of my buds used it. We're showing our age here...ugh. <> On Mon, 2003-03-24 at 20:13, Al Sparks wrote: > I'd just like to say, as someone who was just "lurking", that this > advice about minicom was great.

Re: Using serial port
Very nice program, but I have a little problem: I need to become SU to open /dev/ttyS0.How can I give permission to other users? $ minicom -o Device /dev/ttyS0 access failed: Permission denied.

Re: Using serial port
Make sure minicom is installed. It's a terminal program for accessing serial devices. COM1 should equal /dev/ttyS0. <> On Mon, 2003-03-24 at 17:36, Francisco Garcia wrote: > Hi, I need to use my serial port (COM1) to attach my laptop to a Cisco > router's console port.

Using serial port
Hi, I need to use my serial port (COM1) to attach my laptop to a Cisco router's console port. I am using RH 8 and I want to know how to configure the port and what application I must use to open a console session in my Cisco router.
