Or even how to talk to one's serial ports under NetBSD/alpha? :) I've tried shoving all manner of stuff at /dev/ttyC0 and /dev/ttyC1 (though I'm pretty darned sure I'm using the `COM1' connector) and am not having much luck.
The serial ports on my AXPpci33 worked fine for me once I'd gotten the right connector for the 10-pin motherboard header. This caused more than a little pain, because it's not the `standard' used on clones around here, and it wasn't documented properly in the manual I got. It's supposed to be the `standard Intel pinout.' Try this:
Board Serial Pin Function Pin 1 DCD 1 2 RX (Serial In) 2 3 TX (Serial Out) 3 4 DTR 4 5 Ground 5 6 DSR 6 7 RTS 7 8 CTS 8 9 RI 9 10 No pin installed
These are, I believe, numbered 1-5 across one row, and 6-10 in the next.
