I have been trying to load "hello world" for hours with no joy so far :( I am using Ubuntu Karmic and a motorola c115 my with a usb to serial and mot T191 cable.
Either: - Your cable sucks - The phone earjack connector is busted
So nothing anyone can really help you with remotely.
I tried different -m options, most of the times nothing happens,
The -m option only comes into play after the PROMT1 / PROMPT2 so if you don't even get there, it's not a sw problem.
Cheers,
Sylvain
