How do I configure /dev/ttyS2 to accept serial connections...
by trist007 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VTT6)
So I have a headless Slackware 14.2 box and a windows xp box. I connected a usb to serial cable between the boxes. I can run putty on the windows xp box and use COM3 to connect. However, I just get a blank screen.
How do I see the configuration of the /dev/ttySx devices on the slackware box? For example, when I connect using putty on the windows xp box how do I know if the connection goes to /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS3? Those are the only two devices that show up in dmesg. In addition, how do I know what to set the the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control? Also, aside from that what else is needed so that when I make a connection I get a login prompt which then executes a bash or sh shell upon a successful login? Thank you.
