Re: 2nd post - SETSERIAL? - WAS Syncing a Palm in Redhat73

[Bill Johnson <wjohnson4 neo rr com>]

I found a post on that indicated I might have an IRQ conflict, so I set IRQ to 
0 using setserial, and problem is resolved.  The post also indicated this is 
not a good solution, however.  Any thoughts on this?  Is there any harm in 
leaving /dev/ttyS2 with IRQ=0?  I use the port only for this pilot hotsync 
cradle.
