What I am trying to do is using the serial port connection (correct me if I'm wrong, the connector next to the printer's parrallel port connector, there's two) to connect to the serial port, or also called console port, on a Cisco 1720 router. I am pretty lost, since I don't even know what program I would need to make this connection. On Windoze systems there is a program called "Hyper Terminal", which worked fine - but I want to use FreeBSD. I figured the "minicom" application would be the one to use, and installed it. Now, which device IS the serial port? /dev/sdi0? /dev/ttyd0? How do I configure it through minicom? What do I have to do? Please help!
