Please can anyone advise me - FMTOOL Error and no further processing

Dear all, I vae the C115 with a T1 USB to Serial cable with the Prolific chipset. When i run osmocon i get :- an its just sits there with no further processing. ./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c123xor ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.compalram.bin read_file(../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.compalram.bin): file_size=17120, hdr_len=4, dnload_len=17127 read_file(../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.compalram.bin): file_size=17120, hdr_len=4, dnload_len=17127 got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00 . got 2 bytes from modem, data looks like: 2f 00 /. got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 1b . got 3 bytes from modem, data looks like: f6 02 00 ... got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 41 A got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 01 . got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 40 @ Received PROMPT1 from phone, responding with CMD got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 66 f got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 74 t got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6d m got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 74 t got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6f o got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6f o got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6c l Received FTMTOOL from phone, ramloader has aborted got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 65 e got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72 r got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72 r got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6f o got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72 r got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00 . got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00 . I think the cable is ok as when i run my fingers on the tip i get random Zeros so it appears to be talking to the cable. Also when i tried to run Mobile i get the :- even though i created the Mobile.cfg file in /etc/osmoco Failed to parse the config file: '/home/raz/.osmocom/bb/mobile.cfg' Please check or create config file using: 'touch /home/raz/.osmocom/bb/mobile.cfg' I have spent some hours researching the lists and trying various things to no avail but I want to continue until I resolve this issues and use this great stack to learn about the GSM network. Please advise. Great full for any help or pointers but this maybe a timing issue that is difficult to debug. Thanks Raz
