Well... I do

	cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyUSB1

which is what I've always done -- and has always worked before.

cu prints "connected" which indicates that it is seeing the equivalent  
of what with RS-232 would be DSR asserted (USB is different, I know...)

But when I hit <cr> or otherwise bang on the keyboard, I get nothing.   
I would expect to see "Marvell>>" at least, but... nothing.

And no little blue light.  Anybody know what turns that on?  At what  
stage of the initialization process should I expect to see it?


Thanks!
