You want to 'connect' Kermit defaults to the correct settings (9600,8n1). These are the same default settings that a getty on a serial console of a FreeBSD box will use. So if you want to test your cabling and kermit setup, start a getty on a FreeBSD box's serial line and try the cable there: # grep ttyd0 /etc/ttys ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure # kill -1 1 Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
