Pilot installation

[cal herrmann]

Thanks, got that far, still have stupid problem!  The Kpilot program after a 
sync connection is asked, puts up a window, "waiting to Sync," which locks up 
everything, hard to get out since the signal isn't getting through. Now 
ls -l /dev/ttS0 gives 
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root root 5 Mar25... /dev/ttyS0 ->tts/0 and won't chmod.
ls -l /dev/tts/0 gives
crw-rw--rw- tty   etc.
ls-l /dev/pilot gives
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root  root  9  Mar 25  /dev/pilot ->/dev/tty0
well then, puzzled, setserial -bg /dev/ttyS? gives 16550A's at 3f8, IRQ4, and 
2f8, IRQ3.
stty -a gives 9600 baud for both.  Should this be speeded up? The Pilots like 
115k elsewhere.  
Back in the old days(!) one could put a wire from the transmit to the receive 
pin on the DB25 connector and test to see if a port was getting through.
Thanks, Cal
