comport problem

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi,

	Kirk and Jiim have been wrangling withthis kind of behaviour for some time. Apparently some serial ports are not initialiized at boot up, but you can have LILO initialize them if you put this line in /etc/lilo.conf:

	serial=x,9600N8

	where x is 0 or 1 depending on which com port your serial synth is attached.

HTH,
