I got one mail reply to this (from Keith Fuller) suggesting the
command
setserial uart 16450
I found this program on sunsite.unc.edu and installed it and it did not
work as expected. It did not accept the "uart" option. The source had
nothing like that in it.
However there was a newer version in the ALPHA directory so I grabbed
that one and tried again. At first I just executed the binary that came
in the tar file, and the same problem occured. However the source did
have the "uart" option, so I removed the executable and recompiled it.
That did the job. I am currently logged in through Kermit on Linux.
