Thanx for reply I found that communication settings
should be: 
~Bits per second: 9600 
~Data bits: 8 
~Parity: None 
~Stop bits: 1 
~Flow Control: Hardware 
I just not sure what keys to put in cu... I found an
example with com port
# cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600
but I got db25male cable which is aka lpt port
cable...
can anyone give me a hint how to check what tty should
be for lpt port?
something like 
#disklabel -C sd0
to display partitions on scsi drive....
cheers 
tom
