Perhaps, this question is not directly related to linux kernel, however ,this list has always generated helpful hints. so I'll appreciate any help Or I'd be equally happy with a pointer to a site with more info. So here's the problem I am facing: I try to connect my router and a PC running almighty Linux through console port (router ) and serial port (Linux). Now where the confusion takes a hold of me is the determining the correct serial port. In /proc/interrupts I get the following: 4: 4 + serial. That makes me think of IRQ 4 = COM 1 or COM 3 in Linux nomenclature cua0 or cua2 (Am I right here?). I am using kermit to access cua0 -> router. The cabling is correct , because I was able access the same type of router (in reserve) with different PC using the same cable. My question would be : What is the correct port if not cua* ? Any particular tricky issue as far as kermit is concerned ? What's the difference between cua* and ttyS* (except major 5 vs 4) ? If that above is confusing or incomplete please feel free to drop me a mail, so I could clarify . Thank for everybody's precious time
