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
