KIO2 connect to Ubuntu Linux

[ArtLinux]

My memory of how I connected my K2 to this Ubuntu 8.10 computer has  
faded over the last year. Although the Ubuntu version then was 7.04,  
the computer was the same.

I have been attempting to configure the com 1 serial port with the  
root command:

serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=4800+stop=2+parity=none

The reply is "file does not exist."

I see file size for ttyS0 as 0 bytes. Could it be that I need to  
create a special ttyS0 file? Since I do not remember that step before,  
I am a bit lost here.

Maybe there is a configuration program for com port config that does  
not expect to write to a dial up modem!.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

The command you are probably looking for is 'setserial' and you may  
need to install the setserial package using synaptic or apt-get.  Try  
'man setserial' for syntax.  Most Linux programs which can  
communicate with the K2 use the hamlib library (install the  
libhamlib2 package).

Try using fldigi; it's in the Ubuntu repository, and you can use either
hamlib or (my recommendation) rigcat with the K3 option to control it.
Then you set the serial port via menus.
