Get one at Radio Shack (i don't know if there is an equivelent in Denmark) or build one your self. For dumb terminals you only need pin 2 3 and 7 live. The cable can be wired as follows: 2 -> 3 3 -> 2 7 -> 7 Have fun! chris "Morten Seeberg" writes: Hi, Iīve gotten hold of a HP 700/96 serial terminal, and was wondering, how to find more info on hooking it up to my FreeBSD? I tried using the 25p to 25p cable which came with it, used a 25p to 9p connector, and connected it to my FreeBSD, then changed: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure to ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure Didnt work :) How do I reload ttys, without rebooting? The terminal has 2 serial connectors (a 25pin and a 9 pin), are they alike? Can I just hook it up to the serial port? (donīt know much about serial terminals). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\/\orten $eeberg, Systems Consultant @ Merkantildata CMA - Enterprise Solutions #echo 'System Administrators suck :)' > /dev/console To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message __ Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
