[syslinux] Request to Document obscure SERIAL flowcontrol setting
Hi: I took me a while to figure this out, so I thought it might be good to document on the wiki. When using Syslinux's SERIAL option ( https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=SYSLINUX#SERIAL_port_.5Bbaudrate_.5Bflowcontrol.5D.5D ) in conjunction with Serial over LAN ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_over_LAN), there is no "CTS assertion" (at least with some BIOS), but DTR and RTS are still needed. I would like to request that the following line be added to the "Typical values" section of https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=SYSLINUX#SERIAL_port_.5Bbaudrate_.5Bflowcontrol.5D.5D : 3 - 0x003 - Only assert DTR/RTS, some serial over LAN implementations Thanks. -- Gregory Lee Bartholomew PGP Key ID: 3B67510E
