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" To: 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?
