I tried both 3wire.9600 and std.9600 but without success...

The cable I'm using is a standard null modem cable bought in the store
which worked fine om my linux box.

Note that I only have trouble during the login phase:

Quote:
# kermit -c
Connecting to /dev/ttyS1, speed 9600
Escape character: Ctrl-Q (ASCII 17, DC1): enabled
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
or followed by ? to see other options.

On my linux box if I happen to press "enter" I will just get a new
login prompt but here the getty/login hangs and get unresponsive.

Once I'm logged in everything works fine...Thats why I suspect
getty or login....I'll try to get hold of multimeter tomorrow to check
the cable physically.
