Ann, Frank is right, this is how I do it for my Cisco Switches & Routers. Yours may vary according to which ttyS? you intent to use: #This is how I set up minicom to console Cisco Switches: A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyS0 B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock C - Callin Program : D - Callout Program : E - Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1 F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes G - Software Flow Control : No [root@tuxy ~] # chmod o+rw /dev/ttyS0 (If you wanna start it as a regular user though it goes back to default every reboot) Regards --- Frank Cox <theatre@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:44:34 -0700 (PDT) > ann kok <annkok2001@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > how can I make it working when i type minicom? > > As the root user, type this: > > minicom -S > > Configure the program and point it to the serial > port that you intend to use, > and save the configuration. > > -- > MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ > http://www.melvilletheatre.com > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Linux user number 433512 "Free as in Freedom": http://counter.li.org ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation?
