}I just noticed that on bootup I am getting the following messages:
}
}Configuring serial ports..../dev/cua2, Line 2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 3
} Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
} Flags: spd_hi skip_test
man setserial:
close_delay delay
Specify the amount of time, in hundredths of a sec-
ond, that DTR should remain low on a serial line
after the callout device is closed, before the
blocked dialin device raises DTR again. The
default value of this option is 50, or a half-
second delay.
Kinda makes sense...
}
}Does anyone know what the "close delay: 50" and "divisor: 0" mean?
divisor divisor
This option sets the custom divison. This divisor
will be used when the spd_cust option is selected
and the serial port is set to 38.4kb by the appli-
cation. This parameter may be specified by a non-
privileged user.
spd_cust
Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
application requests 38.4kb. In this case, the
baud rate is the baud_base divided by the divisor.
This parameter may be specified by a non-privileged
user.
}I am invoking this from rc.serial with the following lines:
}
}/bin/setserial /dev/cua2 uart 16550A port 0x3e8 irq 3 spd_hi
}/bin/setserial -a /dev/cua2
}
}and port cua2 is my 14.4 USR Sportster modem.
