[ros-general] Null modem cable problems.

[Devin Smith]

Is there any way to test and see if my null modem cable is any good?

If I open up two Hyperterminals on Windows I can type back and forth,
or if I use Minicom and Hyperterminal I can type from one computer
over the COM port and receive it on the other but when I run ReactOS
in debug mode with the /DEBUG and /DEBUGPORT=COM1 I can't get anything
to come across the communications port.

the /BAUDRATE=19200 and I know all my setting are correct in the
terminal computer that is receiving but I'm unable to get any data at
all..

Is ReactOS not using 8N1 for the parity settings ?

I'm currently trying to figure out why I'm getting a
SESSION4_INITIALIZATION_FAILED bug check error. Maybe ReactOS hasn't
opened up the COM port yet for communications ?

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Devin
