No joy. The speed is stubbornly stuck at >9600, and I can't change it to talk to my modem. > > I'm stuck until I get this fixed. Here is a hack that I found got me around this problem: stty cs7 2400 </dev/com1 stty cs8 </dev/com1 stty </dev/com1 This will set your baud rate. You can put it in a shell script. The trick is you need to change something else other than the baud rate at the same time and it will take. In this case I set it to seven data bits 'cs7' and then back to 8 'cs8'. You can do this in one fell swoop if you need to change any of the parameters from the default. > >Thanks in advance, whoever you are that bails me out.
