I really don't think the problem is a permissions issue. I can sudo xastir and get the same results. I can't quite put my finger on the issue. According to Xastir it is able to open /dev/ttyS0 but no communication happens between the tnc and the computer. Couple that with the fact that everytime I try to use GTKTerm I get a cannot open because ttyS0 is busy even if it is the first thing I try makes me think the computer actually has a screw loose somewhere and it keeps bouncing around messing stuff up.
Tomorrow sometime I will do Dave's and Gerry's suggestions and see where that takes me. BTW- Gerry that little storm dumped almost 2" of rain on McCamey and over an ince in Odessa :) Jim Morgan KE5MKT Midland, TX 79703-6318 USA 432.425.5606 _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
