[hsflinux] Setting the serial port using setserial: what's happening?

[Marc Boucher]

don't use setserial with ttySHSF0; it's a virtual, not a physical serial port.

I,m a newbie for Linux, i have installed it (RedHat 7.3) on my box (AMD Athlon 1700) 2 months ago, and i'm trying to set my Rockwell International data/voice/fax Modem and make it working on Linux. I have just downloaded the new version (02082400k2.4.18_3-1rh.athlon.rpm) of hsflinmodem for Athlon architecture (as it shows command # rpm -q --qf '%ARCH\n' kernel) and i tried if my modem is ready to dial using minicom -s, and setting the serial port on /dev/ttySHSF0: WOW!  Thanks Marc! You're great! The modem is responding and it can dial too, only i must set ATX3 in the init string.Now i want to set my serial port: i login on the shell as root and i type # setserial -a /dev/ttySHSF0
