Re: Cisco 1548M switch and Linux

Bummer, I don't have mincom. Even bigger bummer: I can't 'apt-get install
minicom'. First it complained about unmet dependencies and told me to run
'apt-get -f install'. I did that and it is complaining that the server
'failed to open [the] file'. Further; it is a wonder that serial ports are
also ttyS?. I thought that was reserved for cards.

I wonder if 'xterm' would work?
