I'm trying to connect my Linux box to our phone switch which has a simple
RS-232 serial port which dumps phone usage as the calls are handled by the
phone system. I have it connected to my 25 pin serial port (which was comm2
under windows) and have tried to set line to cua1 and ttyS1 and both give
this:
(/usr/bin/) C-Kermit>set line ttyS1
ttyS1
Sorry, can't open connection: ttyS1
(/usr/bin/) C-Kermit>set line cua1
cua1
Sorry, can't open connection: cua1
There are no gettys running on this, but it seems something is locking the
port. What can I check to start troubleshooting this?
TIA,
Eric
