The kernel driver for your converter simulates a serial device.<br>

/dev/USB0 will be the serial port in linux to communicate with
your tnc.<br>

From the menu (Ctrl-A Z) enter "O" and you get another menu<br>
with other options and choose "Serial port Setup" from there<br>
you can change the serial device settings in Minicom.<br>

<pre wrap="">Recently I was forced to migrate to a computer that has no serial port
for use with jnos and thus lost my radio drop.
When I plug in the converter, it is immediately recognized by linux
and /var/log/messages says it found a driver for the device and it is
now attached to /dev/ttyUSB0.
With the tnc in kiss mode, I simply tried to see if it would auto-set up
and work with the old tnc kiss settings that worked last time around.
Nothing -- some packets were detected in kiss mode with bad headers...
etc.
I did a hard reset on the KAM-XL to bring it out of kiss mode so I could
test to see if a terminal programme (minicom) could talk to the TNC in
normal (non-kiss) mode.
And that is where I am stuck... What port on the 232 end of the cable
should I set Minicom for? I thought it would be something like ttyS0,
S1... etc. Nada... Minicom comes up and says it's port is /dev/tty8. I
tried that and likewise nada.
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but I figured I need to find
out if for sure if the converter is actually working first and then
worry about jnos.
Is there something else other than minicom that I should be using?
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be welcome.
Thanks,
