What does 'dmesg /dev/ttyS*' report?

My serial port is indeed a "real" serial port. However, on the odd

I tried
ttyUSB0, no luck.... that locked up andLinux which finally shut
itself down
after 5 minutes.
I installed minicom and set it up for correct baud rate and port.
Tried
with ttyS0, acts the same as xastir. Seems to open the port but
nothing sent
received.
I think I'm going to carry this over to the andlinux forum b/c this
doesn't
seem xastir related.

Ok, that's not it.
Is your serial port hardware or a USB dongle? If a dongle, look at
/dev/ttyUSB0.
If you have minicom, jump pins 2 and 3 on the port and see if you
get data
back on your port. At least this would see if linux is seeing the
port and
able to use it.

THanks for the suggestion.... ls /dev/ttys0 -la shows crw-rw-rw- for
permissions. So I guess this isn't it.

Check permissions. I would set it to 666 / rw-rw-rw- and see. I
have had
issues where that is a fix.
It is a "dangerous" fix because of the permission issues, but it
is worth
the experiment.

Guys, I tried to get xastir to talk to my TNC via ttyS0, and it
appears
to
open the port, but I never see any traffic coming in. So I
opened the
com1
with a windows app and sure enough there's lots of data
streaming in.
While
the windows app was open (tieing up the comport), I tried once
again to
have
xastir open the port and did seems to have opened it even
though it
should
not have.
Is there another name for /dev/ttyS0 under andlinux? What am I
missing?
I
see ttys0 in the /dev directory.
