hello, i have wired myself a nullmodemcable to connect a small machine to my centos-ltsp-and-so-on-server. using agetty i can login fine, just a few garbage chars here and there but working is ok. now this isnt what i wanted, so i disabled agetty, made a line in syslog.conf like *.* /dev/ttyS0 and made the system produce a lockfile after syslog is started to lock that serial port. now data reaches my minicom using terminal emulator, but its garbage, looking like this: ...x.x.x at ..x.x. and so on. if i do echo "somechar" > /dev/ttyS0 its the same garbage. im sure this is a quite simple thing, but i dont get it to work. do i need another terminal prog if i try to send plaintext with syslog (as it seems to me clueless as i am). do i need to manipulate syslog output somehow? i tried to fiddle around with setserial but the port should work, as they to with agetty. i hope someone on this list has experience with this, doenst seem to be too popular. mfg sonicx
