But there's one problem: I need to use the on-board serial port (DB9) & at boot it's turned off. There's a W98 "Thinkpad Config" program which somehow enables the serial port & other similar things. Does anyone know about a utility I can use under FreeBSD which would allow me to turn this port on? Extra info: The DB9 port is turned *off* at reset. This verified via an RS-232 datascope. ie the TD line goes to zero volts at reset (not +12 or -12) & stays there until the W98 pgm is run to enable it. Thanks in advance.
