Hello,

I have a problem and none of my friends can help me so I try it here. I
want to connect a (smart) terminal to my FreeBSD system. I tried
different terminals and different cables, but the terminal gets the
login: prompt and hangs. I.e. I can type what I want but won't get any
echo. Following are the facts. Any help is appreciated!

Walter.

- I have two COM ports, COM1 is detected as being a 16450, COM2 as a
  16550A (???) Hacking the kernel to force it to be a 16450 too has no
  effect.
- I run FreeBSD 1.1.5
- cable has everything connected
- terminal has been setup with w/ and w/o flow controls, different speeds
- I tried changing some tty settings like clocal, echo, ctyscts, no use

From /etc/ttys:
tty01	"/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"	vt102	on  secure
(I tried adding "local", no use)

From ps -aux:
root        97  0.0  0.0   152    0 ??  IW   Sat09PM    0:00.09 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 tty01

From stty -f /dev/tty01 -a:
speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns;
lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl
