Problems with run tests on a i386 platform -Additional info

[Hansjörg Petriffer]

Sorry in the last mail I have forgotten to give information about the used
version and so on:

-I use the insight release 5.0 
-Cygwin 1.1.18
-Win2k

I have the following problems with using gdb wiht a i386target (with ecos
running).


I'm not sure if I make something wrong.

I receive the following messages:

It seems for me that something goes wrong with the serial comunication,
because it makes no difference if the remote is running.  
As serial cable I use a Simple null modem without handshaking. Is this
correct?

Thanks for any hint!
