Hi Nathan,
As I said in the initial post, I tested it with a modem booting from a
floppy, and it tested fine, so the serial port isn't faulty
(thankfully!).
It's actually a Sola UPS, and I had it working previously with NUT on my
old mail server which has now been retired.
The "Q1" command is what I normally need to type in Minicom to get it to
respond, but this isn't working.
Thanks for the response though.
Pete
