Hi, I tried to boot my net5501 and have minicom running on a RedHat Linux
(Ctrl+A Z O "Serial port setup"to see -->) Serial Device: /dev/ttys0 Bps/Par/Bite: 19200 8N1 HW Flow Control: No SW Flow Control: No And I see: -------------------------------------------- POST 01234.......tvwxy comBIOS ver. 1.32i ------------------------------------------- So the steps you took were OK. But is the cable OK ? You could try to connect the machine running putty to the other machine running minicom anf verify that you can make a connection . Then the cable is OK.
