On 2001-04-25, ben calvert scribbled: # i've got a brand-new 12 processor sun box here at work that doesn't seem # to know that it's got a monitor & keyboard. i'd like to try to use my # freebsd machine to act as a serial console, but i can't find documentation # on how to do this... help! I have a laptop running FreeBSD that I use as a serial console to our Cisco equipment and for basic network monitoring. If you have a serial cable connected to COM1 on your machine, run the following command: cu -l/dev/cuaa0 This will connect to COM1 and allow you to command the server from there. To close the connection, type ~. and wait about 1-2 seconds and it will disconnect. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
