Date: 6 Jun 1997 12:47:40 GMT Organization: Grand Valley State University Lines: 16 Message-ID: <5n90tc$909@news.gvsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: river.it.gvsu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:42509 Hi all, I want to put my FreeBSD console on a serial port. Being a college student and all, a second monitor is out of the question, and the switchbox I tried (you know, one of the less expensive models) is less-than-wonderful. I do, however, have an abundance of old PC's at my disposal for terminals. I already have this machine set up with getty, what additional steps must I take? Can I do it at all? -- Matt Behrens Zigg Computer Services zigg@iserv.net http://www.iserv.net/~zigg/
