I am trying to connect an HP DraftPro Plotter to a diskless workstation.
Unfortunately for me, the plotter has an RS-232 interface, and I can't find
anywhere in any documentation that tells me what select code the internal
RS232 interface is, what switch settings I should use on the plotter, or
what device driver (major number) I should use for the plotter.  

Can someone tell me where to look or supply me with the answers?  

To summarize, I just need to know what device driver to include in the kernel,
what arguments to give to mknod to create the right device file to connect
to the internal RS232 and which switch settings to use on the plotter itself. 

thanks for any help anyone can give me!
