You might try 19200 or 9600 for baud and none on parity and 1 stop bit,
that's pretty vanilla...<br>

<pre wrap="">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@..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.

You need to set the speed and parity to match at both ends on the
serial port. Agetty probably cycled through some speeds to match up
or had a config file. Stty will show/change the settings but I think
they revert to defaults on the last close.
