Re: "bad envelope" with x10 MP3 remote

Christoph, and other interested readers,

My bad. I should have mentioned that I tried that, or something like it:

   # /usr/local/sbin/lircd -n --device=/dev/ttyS0
   lircd 0.7.1-CVS: lircd(mp3anywhere) ready
   lircd 0.7.1-CVS: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
   lircd 0.7.1-CVS: bad envelope
   lircd 0.7.1-CVS: bad envelope
   lircd 0.7.1-CVS: bad envelope

The dread bad envelope returns! The symlink and a udev rule give the 
same results. Since removing the setserial command from 
/etc/modprobe.conf as you suggested, the serial port looks fine:

   # setserial /dev/ttyS0
   /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4

Do you suppose my serial port is just hosed? Do you know of some way to 
test it? I don't have any other serial devices around.

As always, any/all suggestions greatly appreciated, and happy new year!

Mike
