'cu' hangs up really easily. use 'kermit' (it's in ports) and the hangup problem will disappear. i tried to find an option to cu to modify its hangup behavior but to no avail. your second problem sounds like it could be terminal sizing -- have you tried this with a default 80x24 window, set and exported TERM properly, etc? i was not able to get my console to work properly past 38400 baud; i am not sure why. 38400 has been just fine speed-wise for me, though, so i'm not that upset. :) (also see http://www.arctic.org/~aaron/tips/freebsd-serial-console) aaron On Tue, 22 Jun 1999 13:31:33 EDT, "Bill G." writes: >I got a serial console working on COM2, to which I have connected >another FreeBSD box.
