Hi, A friend of mine is trying to 'tip' to a SUN Machine thru the serial port (/dev/cuaa1) on a FreeBSD box running 2.2. Somehow, not all characters are able to get across. For example the characters 's', 'n' and '=' just can't seem to get across. On the other hand some other characters like 'e' and 'f' seem to get transferred just fine. Would somebody know what's going on? A serial null-modem cable is being used (I don't think the cable is the problem though). My guess is that some weird encoding is going on. We tried various combinations of parameters to stty (2 stop bits, 1 stop bit, no parity etc...) but nothing seemed to work. What is puzzling is that some characters work and some don't. Any help appreciated! Thanks. --rohit.
