The setup is a USB to serial converter to the scope >> controller. It's been long since I used these converters under Linux. At the time (and I guess it's still the same today) only very few of these adapters were supported. You'll need kernel support (or a module) for the converter, so you should start by scanning the kernel docs or the kernel-config to see whether your converter is there. You may also want to check http://www.linux-usb.org/ whether anything is known about your particular converter. Kernel documentation will then help you further in identifying the correct serial port device you'll have to configure in KStars. Your last solution might be to purchase a converter being "officially supported". HaJo -- HaJo Schatz <hajo@xxxxxxxx> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt
