hmmm, for my soekrii (is that the plural?) I've never had to do too much to get everything (well, everything I use anyway) working to my satisfaction. I generally set the baud rate via an option like so: $ screen /dev/tty.usbserial0 9600 I've never had to explicitly set the stop-bits or parity, it just seemed to work. Of course, YMMV. I should probably disclose that I mostly use the console for emergencies and system configuration. I do most of the work via SSH, once the system is initially configured. > >> >>> Thanks in advance for your help and time!
