similar to: CentOS serial questions (Hyperterminal equiv and connecting to server via Hyperterminal)

I have to reinit a firewall that can only be done from its console port, and I do not have an XP system with Hyperterminal on it. So I went through the archive and learned that minicom could do the job for me. I installed it and went to configure it (minicom -s). I can set the speeds, but the challenge is selecting the serial device. I have a Serial-to-USB dongle, and when I connect it,

Hi all I have a problem switch in our data centre, which is connected to a linux server via a serial cable. I know I can / could access the switch from my Windows PC back at the office, using hyperterm, but trying to access it using minicom just doesn't seem to work. I have changed the comms in minincom to use /dev/tty0 & the baud rate to 9600, yet I can't seem to connect with

Since about v0.9 I've been unable to get wine to reliably receive characters on the serial port. Sending is fine. The latest version I've tried is 1.1.23, and this always loses the first two characters of a line, then randomly loses some of the later ones. Is anyone else seeing the problem? It's an absolute show-stopper for me because the only Windows software I use needs serial coms

I installed Board Master a software that control a CNC machine to produce PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The software install flawlessly but to check if it works I need RS232 working to control CNC machine. I tried to set connection parameters in Board Master choosing COM1 (the only available) but CNC machine don't move and software keep asking for switching machine on. Of course software and

I've finally made the switch to CentOS 5.1 (I had been running 4.6). So far, so good, but I do have a few issues. First, I can not find kermit (or ckermit) in any of the repos (base, extras, centosplus, rpmforge). On my 4.6 systems, /usr/bin/kermit was provided by the package ckermit in the base repo. That package appears to be no longer available. Any ideas where I could find a

hello folks! here's my situation: i've got two WTI RPB+ remote power switches (essentially a 5-port power strip which you can control via serial interface to make each of the ports switch on and off independently). they work fine; i plug a DB-9 cable into the back of my machine, fire up minicom, and i have full control. however, my eventual plan is to use these as fencing

Hi guys, Sorry for the OT. I've posted it in some IBM related forums but no reply yet. We've got an IBM pSeries p9115-505 machine from warehouse. I notice that it doesn't have any port for the monitor. Where do we plug the monitor? >From Google it says something about HMC (Hardware Management Center). Any hints is really2 appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for the extra-ordinarily excellent package ssh. I love all the devs helping out with ssh. I am not subscribed to the list, so if anyone wants to reply, kindly CC me.

Sorry to have had to post this, But I need urgent help with configuring one adit 600 I picked up from e-bay. Issues. I cannot access the console port, I am using HyperTerminal with settings VT100, 9600, 8-N-1 I also do not have any user-manual so I am kind of stuck. Any help in getting me started would be really appreciated. Any default settings like Ethernet port address, that can help me

Hi all, I have a user who is reporting excessive amounts of lost characters when using SYSLINUX (PXELINUX actually) over a serial port at 38400 bps. What is somewhat bizarre is that he has a very high quality server with a Cyclades board, and yet he's losing characters in the PXELINUX->server direction. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, -hpa

Hello, I have an application that sends data out to a serial port, then should receive the reply. After some hassles I got the application to enumerate the serials (in a dialog box where you select the port), and after creating the link in dosdevices (in lower case I should note, wine will not recognize COM1) it actually starts sending out data (verified using a terminal on the other end). But

Hi, hopefully this hasn''t been discussed too often, haven''t found anything in the group: I''m having some issues when a package gets installed twice ( x86 & x64 version). #system is a RHEL5/x64 system. *#following manifest:* [root@kermit ~]# cat install_expect.pp package { ''expect'': ensure => present, } *#ok, let''s apply*

Hello, I would like to bring up the topic of possibly including partial authentication functionality into OpneSSH again - it was discussed a few weeks ago. I believe that implementing auth vectors was suggested as a way to achieve this. The reasoning behind the need for partial auth is that there are cases when multiple methods of authentication are required for the user to be successfully

I have a Cisco 7960 phone. I cannot seem to use the settings button to get into the phone to change the TFTP server. I've set up a DHCP Server, TFTP Server with the same address, and the phone requests the address of 0.0.0.0, the server offers the address of 192.168.2.2, but the phone seems not to take it. I have no action on the TFTP side. So, since I can't seem to server the phone

Hi, I''m trying to configure QoS on my linux in the following manner: I have a main link with 64K, so I divided it in 3 classes of 18K, 14K and 9K with an excess (not used for classified traffic, just to be shared) of 23K. This excess should be distributed proportonally among the 3 classes, that is, the class that has more rate should borrow more bandwidth. What is happening is

Hello, In order to experiment with OpenCA, I have built an RPM for redhat 7.2 of a recent OpenSSL snapshot (the binary rpm on the OpenCA was built with the different target directories and libraries. Unfortunately these recent OpenSSL snapshots seems to break all OpenSSH tarballs and RPMs that I have been able to find. None of them seem to compile successfully, even the snapshots at
