Minicom + Procurve switch

[Harry Hoffman]

Try increasing the line speed to 19200, 57600, etc. Chances are the switch
is increasing throughput on the serial line for the console session. Parity,
start, stop bits rarely change.

Cheers,
Harry

Subject: Minicom + Procurve switch

Good afternoon list compatriots;

Having a weird issue using minicom to connect a  2400 series Procurve
switch.  I am using 8N1 and I start by leaving minicom listening and then
reboot the switch.

Switch comes up and I see it's ROM decompress and post,  then asks me to hit
enter twice to confirm speed test. However minicom doesn't seem to be
responding to any keystrokes.  I believe the terminal emulation is set to
VT102.

The other item that seems odd is that even though I can see output from the
switch minicom still says 'offline'

I know my settings are correct since I've used hyperterm to get it working
before, I'm assuming I just am not understanding a setting or behavior of
minicom.
