hi,
i'd like advice on hooking up a dumb terminal to my FreeBSD box.
i connected this laptop to my desktop with a serial laplink cable,
set the /etc/ttys nicely, set up Windows Terminal on the laptop, but did
not get a login: prompt. everything looks fine on the FreeBSD side, getty
was running, and stty for ttyd0 shows desired settings.

any advice?
