Date: 03 Aug 1994 16:56:31 GMT Organization: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA Lines: 15 Distribution: world Message-ID: <BRAD.94Aug3095631@tazboy.jpl.nasa.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: 128.149.24.99 I recently installed FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on the 486 I just got. I wanted to make a serial connection between this machine and my MacII. I put the serial cable between the two and tried things like 'ls > /dev/tty03' for a couple of the serial devices, but they all said 'device not configured'. Does this mean I need to get the source distribution and edit the config file and recompile? I believe the serial line is connected to com3. I would like to log into the PC from my mac using a terminal emulator. I would like to copy files using kermit, and eventually get it setup as a ppp connection. Any help would be appreciated. Any pointers to documentation would be appreciated too. Thanks, Brad
