Also, you may want to try switching from a straight-through cable to a null-modem, or vice versa. I would expect that a VT320 is a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment, which is French for "thing that talks to modem") and so is your FreeBSD box. You connect DTE to DCE (Data Communications Equipment, Portugese for "modem") with a straight cable, but you connect DTE to DTE with a null-modem. -- Matthew Hunt * Inertia is a property of matter. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
