Mitzel" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hi all, I've got a FreeBSD-2.1.0R machine with a Boca 16 port serial board connected. I'm trying to use this machine to connect to the serial ports on a number of other 2.1.0R machines. I've got getty running on the port. in /etc/ttys: > # Serial terminals > ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure run time processes: > 137 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd1 I connect to the port using kermit but the getty never seems to answer. if I 'cat' some text to the getty port it does show up on the kermit terminal, so I'm connected to the correct port. I checked my cables and connectors with a 2.0.5 machine that does seem to be working. according to our local sys admin web page this is how the cables are wired: I/O Boca DB25 DB9 Signal --- ---- ---- --- ------ I 1 8 1 DCD O 2 20 4 DTR White I 3 5 8 CTS Brown 4 7 5 SG Yellow I 5 3 2 Rx Green O 6 2 3 Tx Red 7 1 N/A FG Black O 8 4 7 RTS Orange I 9 6 6 DSR Blue I 10 22 N/A RI this says DCD is not asserted. is there a flag I should be providing to the getty to say that the terminal is hardwired, or should I try rewiring the connectors, or??? any suggestions are appreciated. danny
