No joy,
I have changed my ttys to:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" xterm on insecure
#/etc/gettytab describes std.9600 as:
2|std.9600|9600-baud:\
:np:sp#9600:
I am using xterm to connect with. Cuaa0c in my /etc/remote is:
cuaa0c|cua0c:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#9600:pa=none:
sio is:
nuke /kernel: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
nuke /kernel: sio0: type 16550A
#/var/log/aculog looks like:
wrmine (Sun May 11 03:15:36 2003) <cuaa0c, , /dev/cuaa0> call completed
wrmine (Sun May 11 03:16:42 2003) <cuaa0c, , /dev/cuaa0> call terminated
wrmine (Sun May 11 16:46:02 2003) <cuaa0c, , /dev/cuaa0> call completed
What else could be holding me up ?
Is there anyother diagnosic tools to help ?
