Hi all. This might be a newbie question and the answer is probably simple. I
need to setup a serial connection to remote control a pc using a serial
cable.
# here is my /etc/ttys file
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 on secure
ttyE0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure
ttyE1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure
ttyE2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure
ttyE3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
# I have this line in /etc/gettytab
std.9600|9600-baud:\
:sp#9600:
I use a terminal client with the following settings
return : CR
baud : 9600
parity : N
word : 8
StopBits : 1
Xon/Xoff : is on
RTS/CTS : is on
I only get a blinking cursor, and no login prompt is appearing in the
client. Anybody has some suggestions to make my connection work ?
