I am trying to get a serial console setup between some FreeBSD
machines. Right now, I am testing my equipment by using a notebook PC
with FreeBSD as the machine running the console and my desktop FreeBSD
machine as the terminal running tip(1).
On the notebook that is running the console, I edited /etc/ttys by
just changing the one line,
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
I reboot the machine and do a,
ok boot -h
To boot to the serial console.
On the terminal machine, all I do is use the default /etc/remote,
# tip -9600 cuaa0c
And watch... and watch the pages and pages of junk scroll by. Here is
an example (please excuse the 80 column output),
# tip -v -9600 cuaa0c
connected

Can anyone out there give me an idea what is going on? I've used
"real" serial consoles before (i.e. Wyse terminals), but never
successfully used a FreeBSD box. Any hints as to what my problem is? A
configuration issue? Or have I got some flaky hardware?
Thanks.
