I've got 2.2.2 installed an running okay on a 486DX33/8MB/170MB(IDE). I'm really just toying with it with a view to learning more about Unix. I'm trying to get a PC acting as a serial dumb terminal to connect to COM1 or 2 on the BSD machine. I've editted /etc/ttys and set the relavant parts of the lines for ttyd0 & ttyd1 to "vt100 on secure", leaving the rest alone as "std.9600" etc. But I can't get the terminal to be presented with a login? I can output to the terminal with ls -l > /dev/cuaa0 and read what it sends (appart from no CRLF). I'm using a laplink cable for now is this my problem? I know the pin outs are listed in the handbook or FAQ, but I don't have my tools with me at present.
