This serial console thing is partially working. I've tried minicom,
cat+xterm, cu. And they all work for reading information from the
port but for some unknown mysterious reason, I can't send any
output to the serial port. Actually, that's not true. I was able
to get it working properly two days ago. Unfortunately that
success doesn't seem to be reproduceable.
I'm out of ideas. The serial cable is obviously fine, and I've tried
every combination of the three mentioned programs for reading from
and writing to the port. I just can't get it to send anything
over the serial cable. If anyone has seen something similar, I'd
appreciate any suggestions. I know it can work, I just don't know
what black magic is necessary to get it going.
Thanks.
Igor
