Is it that you cannot get a Login: prompt? In which case the appropriate /dev/ttyd? might be off in /etc/ttys. If you are using minicom in this case, it expects a modem so you'll have to short pins 4 and 8 (assuming DB25) on the box you are trying to send from, to fool it. ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.4 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
