hi all, I want to set a serial connection but it doesn't work so I tested it with echo: Code: #echo "hello" > /dev/ttyS0 but this commands remains stuck, and so do the following on the other computer: Code: # echo "hello" > /dev/ttyS1 bash: echo: write error: Input/output error for information: Code: # dmesg | grep tty serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A has someone an idea? thanks in advance, seb.
