I still have not been able to get my Psion to connect on the serial port. Kpsion seems to be working OK and have tried all 4 serial ports and speeds in the Kpsion program. I have also tried the second serial socket on the mother board but Kpsion just does not seem to see the Psion. I have turned the Selinux off and the firewall just on the off chance one or all of them were blocking the port. Will try it in windoz to confirm that the hardware is OK, but was wandering if there might be something else blocking the serial. Any ideas? -- registered Linux user number 414240 Guy Fawkes the only person to enter the Parliament with honest intentions and he was going to blow them up !
