using stty, tried getting response of them, gave error ttys0 built in port.

using "sudo setserial -g /dev/ttys*" got me:

i admit trying random things looking lead or make connection, none helping. drivers came on vague disk, , has windows dll's.

appreciated.


ps. got off of ebay, not 100% of it's brand, assuming lsi, read evidence other brands labeled in linux.

this may not helpful, know?

windows drivers names "mt68xdrv.inf" (could not find info using this.)

box came in did have name "hexin" though box cord originally, had added sticker of "xhh-1049" did pull 1 similar mine, not quite. maybe got knockoff. don't care if works.


ps: looks brand "elecity", still having issues finding drivers.
