I went through every serial cable here, and connected it to terminal software on several different machines. Null-modem cables, full-handshake, yadda yadda yadda. Nothing was coming out of those ports. I did find a webpage which states the pinout diagram on the Design Guide was wrong, so I even made a cable assuming the pinouts were right. (Heavy Sigh) Other than that, the board has run (blech) linux flawlessly. - Bruce ______________________ Bruce M. Walter, Principal NIXdesign Group Inc. 426 S.
