echo bla > COM1
I see nothing in the minicom...
You'd better use some terminal program rather than a simple echo. Anyway, do you have a $_com1 and $_com2 options set correctly in your dosemu.conf?

What else am I doing wrong
and how do I actually configure UART parameters under DOS(EMU)?
No need in general. Dosemu have the UART init code stolen from minicom, which works.

Wait a minute - isn't FreeDOS
__necessary__for running dosemu?
No. Any DOS will do or even some other OSes like elks (embedded linux) are fine under dosemu.

Check the $_hdimage option of dosemu.conf.

Hmm, this e-mail looks very suspicious...

Yep, works now.

Yeah, and to change the baudrate, etc.? No idea how one does it under DOS... Only with a terminal program?

Ough, I seem to have had a totally wrong understanding of what dosemu was... Ok, I've found thr right doc to read, that explains it (doc/dosemu-HOWTO.txt - not a self-evident name for a primary explanatory document:-))

Well, what I still don't quite understand, is what are the exact steps after compilation - to copy all the required stuff in a dosemu root-dir, where you'll later unpack FreeDOS or whatever... The reply, that got me going did help a lot - but still, I had to guess a few things... And I am not sure if all my guesses were right.
Thanks

The way that make install tries to explain (at least that's how I understood it from Hans Lermen) is that you first download a binary dosemu (1.0.2.1, that is) and freedos, unpack it into your home directory and get that running. Then if you want to compile dosemu from source, after compilation you just copy your dosemu.bin and dosdebug to ~/dosemu/bin and your global.conf to ~/dosemu/conf.
I would like to get 'make install' working again, but I'll need to be careful where to put files.
Another strategy now is to use the install_systemwide script, which was really aimed at distributors, but then some major distro's don't ship dosemu anymore.
