greetings from shreveport, louisiana! I am running FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE on an i586 (Pentium) that has two DB9 serial interfaces. I am using /dev/cuaa1 for vt100 terminal emulation. I purchased a f/f DB9 null modem cable and connected one end to /dev/cuaa1 on my freebsd box and the other end to "COM1" on a Windows 98 box. I ran Hyperterminal on the Windows 98 box with the following settings: Speed: 9600 Parity: None Data bits: 8 Flow control: Hardware The freebsd box has an entry in /dev/ttys: cuaa1 /path/to/getty std.9600 vt100 on secure and I did not change gettytab I came up with no login prompt on the Windows 98 box. I tested both ports; they are operational. The cable is operational. Getty is running on /dev/cuaa1. I can talk to cuaa1 via ppp: $ ppp ppp> term that gave me no error signs on either side of the cable, yet no signs of success either. nothing appeared on either side! I also did the following: $ echo hello > /dev/cuaa1 The echo was successful though it did not appear on the Windows 98 box in the Hyperterminal program window. What is wrong here? Any all suggestions are welcomed! :) ------------------------------------------------------------ WWW.COM - Where the Web Begins! http://www.www.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
