TICKET ARCHIVE -> Problem With Minicom

arnel - Jul 29, 2005 - 12:53 pm

Hello all,

I'm just new with mac. I just recently bought powerbook g4 and it's running 10.3.9. Most of the things I do in my job is to setup routers and a lot of times connect to them via console. I have purchased IOgear USB-Serial adapter (GUC232A) and it successfully installed the driver. It showed up as /dev/cu.usbserial on /dev directory:

$ ls /dev/cu*
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem /dev/cu.modem
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync /dev/cu.usbserial

But when i run minicom -s to setup the initial config file the machine does nothing until i break using ctrl c

I would like to find a work around to get the usb to serial converter to be able to connect to cisco routers

Your assistance will be highly appreciated

Arnel,
(I'm going to post once and then turn you back to the rest of the Techs, because I'm going on vacation after today)

I would try ZTerm, available at versiontracker.com. I think it can be configured to use the USB-serial connection.

Good luck.
