Am I correct that you don't even see the brltty startup message?

>I have tried the other serial port and tried ttyS1 as well every combo and

Do you have a working Linux or Windows system which you can boot that box into
so as to be sure regarding which port you're connecting to?

>The only thing I can think of is that the command I'm typing is incorrect.

What you're typing certainly looks consistent with the Guidelines page on
brltty's web site. I don't know if LFS follows it, though. Perhaps someone on
this list has experience with LFS.

Now it's my turn to ask a dumb question: Are we sure that that LFS boot image
has brltty on it?
