Re: Serial Ports



Hi,

The probblem got sorted out - 

1. The D9 connector which was the mouse port was internally connected to
COM2 an I had manually configured the mouse for COM1 so the mouse did not
get detected at the time of installation.

2. The D25 connector was internally connected to COM1 and my scripts and
the soft link /dev/modem and all others were configred for COM2.

The box did not belong to me, just helping one more linux user and it
really had me troubled, as I have done a number of installs but never
faced such a problem - A silly one but yet had me all baffled.

Thanx everyone,
