:configured with the com port on "auto". When set to be com1 at IRQ 4 it
:ceased to function at all, matching the other two systems.
:
:I've tracked the problem down to the port (ttyd0) not having DCD
:input. Using cuaa0 worked fine, so the serial port is OK.
:
:I checked the cable, and DCD is wired straight through (pin 1 on the 9 pin
:ports), so it's not the cable.
That is the cable... when building a null modem cable DTR is supposed to
be wired to DCD and vise versa. It should be something like:
DTR -> DCD
DTR -> DSR
DCD <- DTR
DSR <- DTR
RTS -> CTS
CTS <- RTS
TX -> RX
RX <- TX
SGND<-> SGND

:I'm connecting with a serial port on another PC running freebsd and "cu -l
:/dev/cuaa0 or cu -l /dev/ttyd0". In both cases I get a connection
:message, but the remote end never responds. I slapped a breakout box on
:the end of the cable and confirmed that DCD is not being raised by cu.
:
:That means my question is: "When using a FreeBSD system as a console for
:another system, how do I raise DCD in order to establish a connection?"
:
:Clues welcomed:)
