Examine section 14.2 of the handbook /usr/share/doc/handbook.latin1
But in short a terminal and a computer generally need a modem
eliminator to connect them together. Get one at Radio Shack (i
don't know if there is an equivelent in Denmark) or build one your
self. For dumb terminals you only need pin 2 3 and 7 live. The
cable can be wired as follows:
2 -> 3
3 -> 2
7 -> 7
Have fun!

Hi, Iīve gotten hold of a HP 700/96 serial terminal, and was wondering, how
to find more info on hooking it up to my FreeBSD?
I tried using the 25p to 25p cable which came with it, used a 25p to 9p
connector, and connected it to my FreeBSD, then changed:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure
to
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
Didnt work :)
How do I reload ttys, without rebooting?
The terminal has 2 serial connectors (a 25pin and a 9 pin), are they alike?
Can I just hook it up to the serial port? (donīt know much about serial
terminals).
