I want to run my gateway box headless (no keyboard or monitor) using a vt100 emulator on a PC via a null-modem cable for a serial console. How should the port (ttyd0) be configured, i.e. should I run a getty on it? Which gettytab entry? What do I have to specify so that console messages be directed to it? I looked thru the handbook & FAQ but didn't see anything specific to this application. FWIW, it's an 8M 486DX-33 box (running 2.2.5) built out of extra (obsolete?) bits I had laying around. All I'm using it for is to run natd between my dsl line and my four-node home lan. It works great. Many thanks... Mark
