It'd be easier if you had an unused serial port on the FBSD side, if not you need to make sure that nothing is looking for a mouse when you are trying to communicate. No X and no moused. Also make sure you haven't got a getty running on the port (/etc/ttys) > How do I communicate with the Ethernet switch from my FreeBSD box? > How do I start a terminal emulation? > Where do I configure for: > 9600 baud > 8 data bits > 1 stop pit > no parity > no flow control > ? Once you have your cable hooked up (null modem cable) you'll need to make sure you have a suitable entry in /etc/remote Looking at the /etc/remote on a 2.2.5 system the last entry, cuaa0c, is pretty close to what you need. You may need to change the device (dv) entry if you are not using com1. Use tip to connect, if you use the remote cuaa0c entry the command is # tip cuaa0c Dan -- Dan Busarow 949 443 4172 Dana Point Communications, Inc. dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
