hello again, so, i've edited my inittab to listen on ttyS0 on 9600 baud. the "id" is T0. i keep getting "T0: repawning too fast, disabled for 5 mintues." and i am not able to use minicom to connect to it from the other pc. i'm sure my (only) serial port is ttyS0. any thoughts? also, for a null modem cable... i'm using a serial (rs232?) to rj45 adapter on both sides... tried a straight cat 5 cable, read the post about a null modem cable, then switched to a crossover cable. this did not effect the respawning tho, it does it without anything plugged into it! also, there's no funky bios setting going on since i am able to use ttyS0 to connect to the router... so the serial port does work... lsmod didn't show any serial modules being loaded, so i tried gen_serial, but the same still occured. thanks, jason -- --------------------------------------------------------------- | http://theigloo.dhs.org:81 | http://counter.li.org/ | | Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Woody | 2.4.16-k6 | | jason@theigloo.dhs.org | registered linux user #202942 | ---------------------------------------------------------------
