index | next in thread | raw e-mail
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
