Hi,

I've got a problem connecting to my cisco router from macppc9500(/dev/ttyZ0) with netbsd 2.0.2 on
it.
I'm using ttya or modem port(mini din8 f) on my mac, I've cut my 16$ mini din8 - db25 cable to
discover that there are 5 wires (I was expecting to see 6 [should have red
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/Hardware/Misc/serial.html#mac more careful] so my pins are: 
1 HSKo
2 HSKi
3 TxD-
5 RxD-
4 GND 
6,7,8- either gnd or not connected

cisco console where pinouts are:
1  	RTS  	Request To Send  	-->
2 	DTR 	Data Terminal Ready 	-->
3 	TXD 	Tranceive Data 	-->
4 	n/c 	Not connected 	 
5 	n/c 	Not connected 	 
6 	RXD 	Receive Data 	<--
7 	DSR 	Data Set Ready 	<--
8 	CTS 	Clear To Send 	<--

so I'm fine connecting(mini din8 - rj45) pins 1 to 1, 2 to 8, 3 to 3, 5 to 6 I'm left over with 2
pins on cisco that are DSR(Data Set Ready) and DTR(Data Terminal Ready) which according to some
people I spoke with arent that important. I'm trying to connect to my cisco router using:
#cu -l /dev/ttyZ0 -s 9600
after which I'm getting:
Connected.

after which nothing else seem to happen, the problem I'm expecting might be cause of DSR and DTR I
need to try rewiring RS232 to use hardwired handshaking, but I have no clue on where to start
from. If anyone would have any suggestions on that I would much appreciate it
