[ltp] Using TP as serial console

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a TP 770X as a serial console and am having trouble reading from the
serial port.  I'm trying to use minicom.  /etc/minirc.dfl is:

# Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters.
pr port             /dev/ttyS1
pu baudrate         9600
pu bits             8
pu parity           N

But nothing seems to be arriving.  I've taken a serial cable/null modem
and attached
them to the com devices on my office machine, and I've been able to type
to one device and read from the other.  When I move the cable to the TP,
I see nothing.

I assume I've got my IRQs/ports screwed up, but I don't know how to
proceed.  I have disabled
the IR device in order to get my PCMCIA modem working.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.
