1) make or buy an A/B conversion cable (the DB25F connector on the rear have 2 serial port on it) 2) connect some serial equipment to the port A (ttyS0), 9600,8,N,1, software flow control (XON/XOFF). 3) remove from /etc/inittab all occurrencies of getty listening on pseudoterminals (tty1, tty2, ...) 4) add instead a correct line to use getty (or mgetty) on the serial line ttyS0. For me: 1:345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 3:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 4:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 5:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 6:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 5) unplug keyboard and monitor Clearly before 3) make sue that 4) works... ;-))) -- dott.
