[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Dell 325 serial port?

davidsen@crdos1.crd.ge.COM (Wm E Davidsen Jr) (09/15/90)

  We have a number of Dell 325 systems running UNIX. It seems that these
has a "smart" serial port which disables itself on boot if you have
another serial port. It also disables itself on warm boot if you are
running UNIX and have a getty on the port when the system shuts down.

  Does anyone have a program which will turn the port back on without a
power cycle? Dell has been sympathetic but not helpful. They don't have
the program, they can't send me the spec, etc.
