[vox-tech] minicom help

[Geoffrey Herteg]

Henry,
Do you have flow control turned on?  When I was first setting up my serial
connection to an Intel Assabet dev board, I thought I had all the settings
correct (device, bps, parity and bits) but got nothing on the screen.  Turns
out I left hardware flow control on.

Just and idea...
