I've always used a Windows emulator to connect to it and it worked fine. But now I would like to connect via a FBSD 4.4 box using what would be called COM2 in Windows. I'm trying to use the tip command but am not able to communicate. Here is my command: blacklamb# tip -v -115200 com2 connected But that's it. No communication. Am I on the right track? What am I missing? Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
