When I use 'tip' I seem to bee connected, but I get no login prompt. $ tip sio0 connected and nothing else. If I telnet to the receiving host and redirect a file to the serial line, I do see data being transmitted. The formatting is a bit off though. (remote)$ cat /etc/issue (remote)$Hello there! (remote)$ (remote)$This is a serial line terminal. (remote)$ cat /etc/issue > /dev/ttyd0 (local)Hello there! (local) (local) This is a serial line terminal. ^^^^^^ extra spaces are garbage output Every document I have read assumes that your terminal will just work. I am connecting a FreeBSD host to a FreeBSD host using default 9600 baud settings and things aren't working well. It's probably pretty hard to determine the fix for my problem via email. Can anyone point me to a reference that is comprehensive regarding unix serial communications and terminals? Or am I making this harder than it should be? Thanks, Jason C. Wells
