I use tip program in FBSD 4.4. It's all ready configurated for com1 & com2 Tip com1 will open communications through com1. You then need a serial cable from com1 port to to a terminal port on the router. Read router book for commands to talk to router and set configuration. This method means router equipment must be close to FBSD box. If router is all ready plugged into network you should be able to telenet right to router to configure it. Check your router book for details. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Anthony Atkielski Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 11:31 PM To: Joe Joplin; FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Serial Port Telnet session You cannot telnet over a serial port, because it's not a TCP/IP connection. You have to use a program that is designed to communicate with other systems directly over the serial port, such as (IIRC) cu or tip. I have not used either, but they are standard on FreeBSD, so you can just look at the man pages for both for details. (There are probably other programs, too.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Joplin" <joejop@triad.rr.com> To: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 03:54 Subject: Serial Port Telnet session How do you start a telnet client session on the serial port i.e. connecting to a terminal port on a router?
