hi all,
I've got a FreeBSD-2.1.0R machine with a Boca 16 port serial board connected.
I'm trying to use this machine to connect to the serial ports on a number
of other 2.1.0R machines. I've got getty running on the port.
in /etc/ttys:
> # Serial terminals
> ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
run time processes:
> 137 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd1
I connect to the port using kermit but the getty never seems to answer.
if I 'cat' some text to the getty port it does show up on the kermit
terminal, so I'm connected to the correct port.
I checked my cables and connectors with a 2.0.5 machine that does seem to
be working. according to our local sys admin web page this is how the
cables are wired:
I/O Boca DB25 DB9 Signal
--- ---- ---- --- ------
I 1 8 1 DCD
O 2 20 4 DTR White
I 3 5 8 CTS Brown
4 7 5 SG Yellow
I 5 3 2 Rx Green
O 6 2 3 Tx Red
7 1 N/A FG Black
O 8 4 7 RTS Orange
I 9 6 6 DSR Blue
I 10 22 N/A RI
this says DCD is not asserted. is there a flag I should be providing to
the getty to say that the terminal is hardwired, or should I try
rewiring the connectors, or???
any suggestions are appreciated.
