A couple of thoughts. When it is connected with Hyperterminal, look into the hyperterinal com port settings. The baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, hardware flow control, and software flow control settings. In minicom these appear to be under ^A P for the baud rate, stop bits. and parity - and a ^A O selecting Serial Port Setup to set the hardware and software flow control. Good hunting! Tod
