I try to connect my PC( MS-DOS running terminal emulator ) to FreeBSD 2.0.5. But I can not do it well. I make sure that the RS-232 cable is right ( pin 2 switch to pin 3 ), and I use the 2S1P ( 2 serial ports COM1:COM2, 1 parallel prot ) interface card. I edit /etc/ttys file as FreeBSD.faq described, but I fail. What wrong ? Sincerely, Yang Zeng-Yuan E-mail: yzy@dslab.csie.ncu.edu.tw
