If it's a known device, it should show up in there. then all you would need to do is configure a com port. btw, as a comparison, use the lsmod command before you plug in and then check after. if it is recognized, you would see an additional module or 2 running. -eric On May 29, 2017, at 10:59 AM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Mark Peveto here. > Since only one machine i hae here has a serial port, I got a couple serial to usb converters.

The page kept refreshing every time I tried to read it so I couldn't get anywhere. If someone can just get me a straight set of instructions, that'd be helpful. I've already been on several internet pages about the subject, and end up running into some command they suggest not working, or a file can't be found, etc. Really, I gotta get this done, and i'm hitting more brick walls than i need at this point. I spent several hours working on this yesterday afternoon, so if you're hearing frustration, that's why. Thanks folks. Mark Peveto Registered Linux user number 600552 Everything happens after coffee!

I tried to find more recent tools, but google kept pointing me here and most of the stuff was for the older 2.6 kernel (some of which is still valid even under the current 3.x/4.x kernels). So, YMMV. -eric On May 31, 2017, at 9:27 AM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Mark Peveto here, > I think the refreshing issue might've been caused by the older orca in Debian's repo, but I updated that last night. thanks for the man page.
