Dear Fellows,
I need help to connect a freebsd 5.2 box to sco xenix 386 box via =
multiserial cable on the xenix box.
The xenix box allows a connection via a program called Easyterm.exe =
running on a windows 2000 box.
The xenix box has application which I like to connect to via freebsd 5.2 =
box. So
I built a null modem cable which I connected one end to the com1 (cuaa0) =
port on freebsd box and com2 line on the xenix box. Xenix box has =
multiserial card on it. So I used the line 2.
I used kde 3.2 xterminal window and run cu like "# cu -l cuaa0". I got a =
message saying "CONNECTED" but the login prompt from the xenix box does =
not appear on the monitor connected to the freebsd box.. Can anyone =
offer some suggestions on how to trouble shoot this problem? Or someone =
who has can across similar problem and find a way around?
Like to hear from you soon.
regards
ED
