Hi all, I've got a problem for you folks to consider and play with; I have a brand new Cisco 675 router I have to setup. The initial setup of the username and password MUST be done through the serial port of the Cisco at 9600 8N1, via a null modem cable. The problem is I can't get minicom to stop thinking it is driving a modem. What I really need is a way to make my Linux system think it is a dumb serial terminal connected via a null modem cable to another system (the Cisco) via /dev/ttyS0 at 9600 baud 8bits, no parity, 1 stopbit (8N1). I have played with minicom but I can't seem to get it to connect. I really want to solve this without reinstalling WinXXXX. I set my old Cisco up with Windoze but I have since blown w95 away. Any help greatly appreciated... Art
