I've got a genuine DEC VT320 that I'm trying to hook up to a FreeBSD box. I've got the MMJ to 25-pin serial connector, so the physical connection is no problem, but I can't get any communication between the FreeBSD box and the VT. I've edited /etc/ttys and inserted an entry for ttyd1 (and I've tried ttyd0 too): ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure I set vt100 compatibility mode on the 320, thinking it might be easier to achieve communication, after vt300 mode didn't work, with no luck. The VT320 is set up as follows: VT100 mode, VT100 ID, Transmit=9600, Receive=Transmit, XOFF at 64, 8bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no auto answerback. I've also tried No XOFF and XOFF at 128. The FreeBSD box is using a standard termcap and gettytab. It's got a modem at cuaa0 (which is why I've mainly been trying ttyd1). Running FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE. Thanks for any help. Greg -- Gregory S.
