Need help with a serial port

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My new 'puter came with no serial port. For $2.49 I bought a pci card that has two serial ports and a parallel port. I plugged the card in and rebooted. At boot kudzu ran but did not detect that anything new was going on. When I try to hook up my palm to the serial port I get this message:

521 > pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttys0 -b .
   Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttys0
   Please use --help for more information

Same for ttyS1.

Also, here's the output of lspci:

Is there a driver I need to modprobe? Anything I need to do?

I'm lost. :-(

TIA
