[PLUG] USB->serial converter, Part II

[Rich Shepard]

  At yesterday's clinic Dan helped me get to the point where the converter
is recognaized. (The problem is that the USB bus was not always loading
during the boot process.) So when I now look at /proc/bus/usb/devices, there
is the USB->serial converter. But, the light on the converter stays off;
perhaps it should light only when data flow across the connection.

  I have a symlink /dev/photopc --> /dev/ttyUSB1. But, I cannot get the
software to recognzize the port. I tried pointing /dev/photopc at both ttyS0
and ttyS1 with equal lack of success.

  Two questions:

  1) How do I determine the device name of the port being used by the
USB->serial converter?

  2) Is there another technique I can use to test this converter and see why
it's not working?

Thanks,

Rich
