Here's a question, why won't the uart values of the serial ports onboard a TP t-2x work correctly with red hat linux. It is so frusterating to try and do console stuff with my laptop and not be able to get minicom to work properly!!! This proprietary ibm architecture is still driving me up a wall 20 years later! (Remember micro-channel???)
