Hi Rafael, you probably only have to configure the third serial port COM3 in 'DOS language' or '/dev/ttyS2' for Linux. To do this make sure the 'setserial'-package is installed. Then open the file '/etc/rc.boot/0setserial' with your favourite editor. Goto the line that says: #${SETSERIAL} -b /de

1997-07-21 Thread Heikki Vatiainen
