<< I recently bought a PCI card to add a 9 pin serial port on a Power  
Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) dual 450 MHz, 960 MB SDRAM computer.  Does  
anyone here know how to access the serial port from the command  
line?  I'm thinking maybe it's ttys1, but I'm not sure.  (On a PC it  
would be com1).

I'm tying to use ckermit to connect to a 1992-vintage HP 95LX.

Thanks,
Ernest >>

Is the card Mac supported? I know GeeThree makes something called a Stealth 
Serial Port:

I havean HP95LX myself, and used to connect to it in OS9. You might check 
with them if you can't get your card to work.
