The serial line is OK, I have tested it with a modem. It is a 9 wire
cable to a 9 pin connector at both ends.
I have tried to talk to my transceiver with minicom, but I never get
anything back, whatever communication parameter I try.
From the tests I get the impression that serial line speeds do not match
the communication paramaters of the transceiver.
is this correct?

Maybe I should give kontakt a try.....
