What do you expect to see? What communication parameters did you set?
What communications parameters does the device expect? The speeds need to
agree, you might need enable some kind of parity (such as even), you might
to need to set a particular kind of flow control. Example:
set modem type none
set line /dev/ttyS0 ; <-- Note, not "set line ttyS0"
set speed 9600 ; Replace with appropriate speed
set flow none ; or RTS/CTS, or Xon/Xoff
connect
Now try it. If it still doesn't work, perhaps you don't have an appropriate
cable. Again, the manual explains all of this, including cable diagrams.
