Hi, I have been having a problem getting the serial link to work, i get the garbage coming up then i get "bash: no job control in this shell

[TiVo [S3] ~]#" but if i type anything in nothing happens eg ls, i have checked the cable it seems fine, i have tried it at both 9600bps and 115200bps, i also went through the mailing list but couldnt find anything to help me. So i was just wondering whether any one had any suggestions

I also have a turbonet card in it but it isn't get an ip from the router/DHCP but it shows as connected on the switch. Well any ideas guys i'd appreciate it thanks.
