Hello all, I am running FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE and I have recently acquired several WYSE 50 terminals. I have read through several FAQ's and tutorials on how to set two of these terminals up, and connect them to my box via ttyd0/COM1 and ttyd1/COM2. I have setup the terminal's parity to none and the modem port baud rate to 38400. I then edited the /etc/ttys file to use the following settings. ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" wy50 on insecure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" wy50 on insecure After all these settings are checked and double checked and the init is reloaded to re-read the ttys file I check to see that my settings have taken affect and sure enough they have. bash$ ps ax|grep getty 277 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 ttyd0 278 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 ttyd1 According to all the FAQ's/tutorials I have read my terminals (assuming they are properly connected) should be getting a login prompt but they are not. I am very new at this and am at a total loss as what to try next. Is there any way I can be sure the terminals are connected correctly (I am pretty sure they are, I am using standard serial/modem cables), and if they are connected correctly is there anything I am missing? Thank you in advance for all of your help Sincerly Isaac D. Flemming ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isaac D.
