Do you have a null modem connecting DTR from your device to DCR on the PC comm port? If not, can you loop the comm port's own DTR back to DCD so it looks like a connection is active? If you use kermit instead of minicom you can use 'set carrier off' before the connect command to make it open the port without waiting for DCD to be active. Minicom might have a similar command but I don't know what it is. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
