Hi all,

Here is the second most embarrasing question I have ever asked.

I have a switch (managed), that I can use HyperTerminal (when connected to a
windows box of course) to view the console.

I seem to be going blind reading the docs on how to view the same console
when I connect the Switch to the Serial (RS-232 port on any of my FreeBSD
servers.

Any hints, comments on how to set up freebsd to allow access to the switch
console would be appreciated.

-Grant
