How do I do this? I booted back into linux, and got a terminal emulator started. I went
into the /dev/ directory, but from there I am stuck. I did an ls -l for ttyS0, and I
think it said there was only read and write access, so I did a 'chmod 777 ttyS0'
I can't work out how to use the terminal to send a command to the device. Could you
give me the specific command I must enter at the command prompt please?

Thanks very much for your help.
Damian
