I am trying to configure a 386 system running Enix (SysV/386 r3.2) to eventually replace telly. A serial port problem has come up, and I'm wondering is any of you can help me trace the source. The system's mommyboard has COM1: and COM2: hardwired (though they can be disabled). The Enix manual sez that COM1: is /dev/tty00 and COM2: is /dev/tty01 (major device 3, minors 0 and 1). The COM1: port, tty00, works fine. The COM2: port, tty01, doesn't. It sends characters fine (judging from a breakout box), but received characters can't be read by the device. The problem does not appear to be hardware, as I booted Messy-DOS on the system and Kermit worked fine from BOTH ports. And since port 0 works fine, it doesn't appear that the driver is at fault. Suggestions? I'll be calling into Enix support, but the better I can explain the problem, the better. Thanks.
