Thanks, It came with an RS232 interface and serial cable. I've configured the
serial port to 9600 8N1 in minicom as per the hyperterminal instructions. I
also used setserial to achieve the same.
When I run minicom is says 'Initialising Modem' then does nothing. The
hyperterminal instructions says to press return a couple of times but that
isn't working either. I'm baffled.
