The cable is known good and has been tested on a master power with #tip cuaa0b. I have changed the server to many different configurations and none work. I keep changing the getty type and leave the type as unknown. I have tried changing type too. ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty Xwindow" unknown on insecure After each change I #kill -HUP 1 and #ps -a | grep ttyd to make sure init reread the #/etc/ttys. When I try to connect I get a beep and connected message and a new line but I don't see anything else. I then ~^D out of tip with a [EOT] . Where am I going wrong? Ryan Merrick
