I think to use serial ports you can install and use minicom as terminal software and not gnome-terminal so to quick install it type:

sudo apt-get install minicom

give your user password when asked from the system (you will not see any screen char when you type the password)
then press enter

Still using terminal to setup minicom type

minicom -s

then type minicom to use... or create a desktop shortcut to run it by clicking an icon

I set up the serial port and now when I try to open the serial port it keeps saying "permission denied" I didn't see anyplace to set the permission. Thanks

Try to run minicom as root user in this way:

sudo minicom

Mark, and Kevessa; I tried another terminal program called "putty" and it is working just fine. I just wanted to let Everyone know how much I appreciated their assistance. Glen
