Now all this of course is written in terms of a Linux system, and we don't know yet what sort of system you are using. On Windows, I find one can navigate by hand through My Computer -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Ports -> Communications Port (COM1) -> Port settings where again one can manually set "Bits per second", "Data bits", "Stop bits" and "Flow control" but, again, I don't know of a program which can be used to set these "non-manually".
I think that windows would use com1 for /dev/ttyS0 so one could use a batch file in windows with something like mode com1:4800,0,7,1 I recall somewhere about setting parity to 0 for space parity, but I don't have a DOS manual here at work. snip
