debian, actually, does put things in different spots, some akin to bsd's take on where things should be, some in logically named locations. As root: find / -name xastir|grep bin THEN do a chmod on the file as Gale suggested. *** Ok here is the terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo find /-name

The answer will undoubtedly be /usr/bin/xastir which is where the pre-packaged Ubuntu xastir will be installed. It was /usr/bin/xastir/ Lots of folks are guessing that you've got a problem with permissions on the serial port, but I am thinking that unlikely --- if you did a regular install of

Ok I loaded Gtkterm fired it up and I get this error message Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Device or resource busy. So the question now is how do I find out what is making the port busy and how do I turn it off? I bet there's a serial getty sitting on the port right now for a serial console.

If there's a file /etc/event.d/ttyS0 then Alex's hypothesis might be correct. On my system there are only files for each of the virtual consoles, tty1-tty6. Mine is just like yours, Tom. Nothing about ttyS0 in the /etc/event.d file Jim Morgan KE5MKT Midland, TX 79703-6318 USA 432.425.5606

Ok after a reboot I can load Xastir and it says that it connects to the radio tnc ok but the computer and the radio are not talking to one another. I know this because I can hit the transmit button and nothing happens on the radio. I tried GtkTerm but I don't know how to input to it so that I
