I'm trying to use my i386 based FreeBSD machine as a console on a Sun Netra
X1. I've tried two cables:
    1) a Cisco cable (72-1592-01) that's supposed to work, and
    2) a cable I built with the pinout specified in the Sun manual
The cables were connected it to COM1. When I tip:

tip -v cuaa0c
connected

I get no output at all.  The file /etc/remote has

cuaa0c|cua0c:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#9600:pa=none:

which should be correct.

Any suggestions for debugging the problem?

P.S.: The Sun just arrived, via E-Bay, an I do not know for sure that it's 
without problems.
