I got dosemu loaded, and I put MAXTERM in a directory so I could get to
it from the D: drive.

I ran it and I could not get any data. I was putting one character per
second at 19200 baud on both serial ports. In Ubuntu they
are  /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 and I can see it with GtkTerm.

MAXTERM lets me choose COM1: COM2: COM3: or COM4 none of them are seeing
the data.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a dosemu mapping I am missing somewhere?

Thanks,
Kip
