Hi All,
ok, I'm now at work. I've confirmed that vt102 is ok. I can also
confirm, that I can switch from ttyS0 to S1 and back again. Now, why
is this not possible on my home PCs, FC3 and CentOS.? This is weird.
Cheers.

So far, I've offered just a little help, because I'm not expert
at minicom, though I do use it occasionally. I was fairly certain
that minicom was not the problem. It seems to me that you
either have a problem with how minicom is set up, or you have
a problem with ttyS1 (IIRC, it switches back to ttyS0 when
you try to use ttyS1). Have you done a "ls -l" on /dev/ttyS1?
Here's what mine looks like
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Feb 23 2004 /dev/ttyS1
What, physically, is different between your serial ports? have you tried
connecting the cable to your first serial port and using that, temp?
I suggest you try looking at your .minirc.dfl file at work, and at
home, and comparing/contrasting them. Also, try using ttyS1 at
work to see whether it works for you. It's possible that you have
a hardware problem at home, though RS232 ports are pretty
forgiving. Do you have any kind of RS232 breakout box?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
