Still at 38400.  Haven't tried anything else.  I've reset the baudrate via
fconfig several times, but always to 38.4.

I see up through the first RedBoot> prompt, as pasted in the original mail,
and nothing beyond.

One of the first things I've tried.  No help.

Not yet.  I hope to next week, depending on when my PCMCIA sleeve arrives...

Brand new.  S/N 4g15dw312091, on the off chance that means anything to you. :)
Purchasing happened through another department, but I believe it was ordered
directly from Compaq.

Interestingly, even when serial is working, I can't make it accept any
files via xmodem.  Gives 3 retries and then aborts back to the prompt
(at least, it's sitting at the prompt, very confused, when I abort the
upload on the PC).
