I was using woody before I installed my 650, and it has run fine for
me. My guess is that your configuration file needs attention. The
man page does not appear to have been altered since November of 1999,
at version 3.4. Is your previous version older?
The other thing may be whether you actually have the serial port
enabled. Have you checked that?
