IPCop

[Mattison]

Alan,
Thanks for the tips but those things I already thought of (except the
console setup, which I just tried and it has nothing about serial port
config, just a re-hash of the options available at install.) The
Network/Dialup page has settings for speed but nothing about low-level
serial port config. Maybe serial modem support is one of those features they
never thought anyone would actually use. I figured maybe the serial config
is burried somwehere in the rc.init sequence, but that is proving devilishly
difficult to nail down.
