hmm, i vaguely remember a reference to 9600 on some machines, to be
honest, never used serial on raq2 ;)

make sure it;s a good modem cable, the cheezy ones radio shack used to
sell had wires missing -/

Turn hardware handshake off in minicom, you can't type that fast anyhow ;0

hit return a few times...(mgetty)

If the disk making lots of noises ? or being quiet? I know this is a odd
question, but, i know a way to accidently kill a Raq2 by using up all the
virtual memory, same symptoms...(But if you are console booting you should
get something before this)
