Hi again,

since I don't have a 9-pin serial port on my laptop I've been trying to 
connect it with the testing machine over a 25-pin cable (on a 25-pin port), 
which, according to the Serial-HOWTO is doable in theory but doesn't seem 
that easy to do in practice. Setserial reports that the ports are ok:

setserial -a /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        closing_wait: 3000
        Flags: spd_normal skip_test

[other machine]:
setserial -a /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        closing_wait: 3000
        Flags: spd_normal skip_test

but minicom or other serial line communication utils do not send or receive 
any chars. Any ideas?

Boris.
