[Voyage-linux] Connecting ALIX 6F2 through USB serial port, putty displays nothing

[Abhay Gupta]

Hi Miachel,

I am using a serial cable but I'm not able to determine whether it is a
null modem cable or not.
Any help will be appreciated.
For absolute surety I'm gonna order a brand new cable. Do I need anything
else? Like any null modem connector or something? Please tell me so that I
can order them together.
