Michael,

I may not be much help as I only use my laptop for downloading programs, not
development, and my serial port is built-in.

Is there any message when it fails to connect, or not?
Does it fail immediately, or timeout after a wait?
Do firmdl3 & dll fail the same way, or different symptoms?

Try looking in /var/log/messages for any info. Also try logging kernel debug
messages using syslog - a line like:

kern.debug /var/log/kernel.debug

in syslog.conf may give more info (don't forget to killall -HUP syslogd!)

Post the results here, and someone may be able to pick the problem.

Hallo Ross! This is just the problem, I can not download programs or the legos.srec. Both, firmdl3 and dll give the message "bad ir link". I have an other linux computer on which (with a built in com port) dll and firmdl3 work correctly. I compared (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
