Re: [Tlf-devel] Problem with Spots and need for ttyS2 and ttyS3

[Ernst-Jan Eijlers]

Rein,

Thanks for your very swift respons! I feel ashamed on my request regarding the 
serial ports. Indeed, it works fine! Obviously, I have carried out too much 
different trials this weekend! Maybe it is possible to mention it on your 
project site. Now, it only mentions ttyS0 and ttyS1.

With respect to the spots information, I have generated a cluster log file via  
the command:

   telnet node | tee -a clfile

The logfile is shown below. This is not what I used to do as I prefer using 
the direct Telnet interface. Parts of my normal configuration file are copied 
below as well.
The information below is not visible in my spots window, it is only being 
displayed when I use the cluster option and when I have selected the telnet 
option in de configuration file.

Most probably, I have made a stupid setting, but I have read the documentation 
over and over. Please advise.
