I have a piece of equipment, a Baytech RPC-3, that I need to communicate with through the com port.
I normally use this equipment at home and am able to connect to it without problems using FC5 and minicom; I brought the equipment into work and cannot get my pc, using Suse 10 and minicom to communicate with it.
Settings for minicom are the same on each machine. The main difference between the machines is that on the FC5 machine I have two com ports and the Suse machine only has one com port. I have tried both ttyS0 and ttyS1 as the serial device setting on minicom without any success.

The RPC-3 has indicator lights for troubleshooting, and indicates that there is a "Cable or hub connection fault".

Running setserial in the Suse box gives the following information:
sport:/home/thumper # setserial -av /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

Required settings for the RPC-3 are 9600, 8N1.

I am not sure if I need to run setserial to try and set the Baud_base to 9600, and I sure dont know how to indicate the 8N1 in any config file.

Can someone point me to what I need to be looking for on this because I am pretty lost.
Thanks
