Howdy!
I have a terminal that I am going to be connecting to my 386bsd
system, so I will be going about making a cable for it in a little
while.
Since both the machine and terminal qualify as DTE, I will be crossing
wires 2 and 3, and will be connect 7 straight throught (I'll be using
25 pin connectors).
The question is: Am I going to need to connect any others? Does
the OS or getty worry about DTR/DSR or some other control flow
pins?
Thanks.
Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
