Alright, how do I phrase my question.

I was told that my Sparc4 had a nice feature where you could control the
system through a serial port connection removing the need for a keyboard.

I want to know how I can do this using my FreeBSD box.  I bought a serial
cable and i've connected one end to my FreeBSD box and the other to the
Sparc.  I'm assuming i'll need some sort of hyperterminal-like application
to make the connection (I was considering using Aterm).

After that what do I do?  Is there any intial setup I need to run through
before I can make my serial port on the FreeBSD box active?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
