But really nothing happened. I tried tip a19200 (this entry Two possibilities here. 1. Have you purchased or soldered up new cables? In order to use the flow control devices /dev/cufa and /dev/cufb the cable that used to work on your 68030 board will no longer work. 2. Have you changed your modem setup so that the flow control is RTS/CTS? If your modem is not generating the RTS/CTS pair, the cube will think that the modem is blocking and "nothing really will happen."
