[Sheflug] SuSE and serial ports

["French, Alastair" <nospam [at] racalinst.co.uk>]

Hi all

I am having a problem with SuSE 6.3 and serial ports, using "cu -l ttyS1" I
get the response "port in use"

trying this with ttyS0 I can talk to the modem.

The system did have a mouse on ttyS1, but I have taken this out, connected
the modem, stopped gpm, removed the /dev/mouse link, but it still won't
work.

I have also switched to single user mode and checked the init scripts to
make sure nothing is using the port. This also dosn't work so I tried a full
reboot to switch off anything using the port, still no luck.

Any ideas please

Cheers

Alastair
