I think the device you need to use is either /dev/cuaa0 (COM1) or /dev/cuaa1 (COM2). FWIW, the "officially correct" place to ask technical questions of this nature is the freebsd-questions rather than freebsd-newbies so I've posted to both lists so I don't than incur the wrath of various experts :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "DrTebi" <drtebi@yahoo.com> To: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 9:32 AM Subject: using serial port > Hi, > I have a very basic setup: > Asus P2BD motherboard > generic CD-ROM > generic Floppy Drive > 8GB Maxtor HD > ATI Rage Pro > .... > > What I am trying to do is using the serial port connection (correct me if > I'm wrong, the connector next to the printer's parrallel port connector, > there's two) to connect to the serial port, or also called console port, on > a Cisco 1720 router. > > I am pretty lost, since I don't even know what program I would need to make > this connection.
