Subject: missing characters
Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2002 07:33:59 -0700 (MST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200203161433.HAA02451@nyx.nyx.net> (raw)

Well well, after years of mumbling about it I finally
got linux--hoo ray!
It is old, rh5.2, but the 7.2 cd was scratched or something.
And debian wouldn't recognize my ethernet card.

I am using an old versabrailler for output.
It does pretty well, but it drops some characters.
I have used versabraillers for seven years, and I never got them working
right any faster than 2400 baud.
I have played with the serial parameters ad nauseum, but 2400 is it.
So:

How can I slow linux down to 2400 baud?
Is it the setserial command?
These serial ports in the vb are probably 16450 or maaybe older.
I have tried several setserial options, but no success so far.

Can I use setserial on /dev/ttyS0, or must I use it on cua[something}?

I would appreciate any suggestions or alternate approaches or info.

Thanks.

Brian Tew
