However, Haiku still does not have a working serial driver unless you have a USB serial adapter. Hi, thanks for your help. I'm not sure if this isn't the right venue for getting advice, but I've been testing out a BeOS machine so I can then duplicate it using a USB-Serial adaptor with Haiku. Unfortunately not having any luck. I've searched Google and BeOS documentation extensively for stty commands to figure it out myself first, but can't seem to get it to work. I tried the following: Connected BeOS and Windows machines using serial ports and null modem, to verify successful connection. Ran SerialConnect on serial port #1 and it received ASCII text fine from Windows. Closed SerialConnect and ran in Terminal: stty 9600 -parenb -cstopb cs8 ; cat < /dev/ports/serial1 But, now no text received from Windows in the BeOS Terminal window. It must be opening the port, because there are no error messages when I run it in Terminal, and I tried running it when SerialConnect is running and it returns an error saying the port is busy. Is there something I'm doing wrong with the Terminal command? also tried sending ASCII out to Windows HyperTerminal from BeOS, but no luck: stty 9600 -parenb -cstopb cs8 ; cat > /dev/ports/serial1 Even tried rebooting and running the Terminal commands, but still no go. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8734#comment:10> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
