Hi,

I also want to use an serial usb adaptor, other make (type DCU-S2U), works fine in other Linux or Windows machine, is recognised perfectly on boot-up,
but after a few characters, same problem, locks-up and then leads to a reboot of the Asus.

I have tried:
- Changing the settings of the port with ssty (disable software and/of hardware handshake)
- Using proper hardware handshake connections
- Several firmwares for the ASUS
- Adding proper end-of-line and end-of-file characters to the data

Nothing works, looks like a bug in the firmware

Anybody who has a clue??? I would be VERY gratefull if this problem could be solved.

Regards,

Peter
