In my grandfather's attic (RIP) I unearthed one of these: http://www.omnidatasys.net/product/spec_dataterminal_ti703.htm
which in a nutshell is a paper terminal which runs at 300 baud. I figured it could be fun to set it up as a serial console on one of my machines, and maybe useful if I left it tailing logfiles to a hard copy or perhaps using it for a machine I have which keeps PANICing So I edited the line in /etc/ttys for tty00 to be: tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.300" vt100 on and now (after some init HUPing) I get a login prompt, and it takes my username. When I try and give it a password however, it turns off echo, but it never seems to notice the carriage return. It just sits there. If I send a break, it wakes up and says login incorrect, so it's not completely died. It's not worth expending any time or effort over, but I thought maybe someone might be able to say Ha! You need hardware flow control! or somesuch. I just thought it might be cool to be able to come in in the morning an tear off a list of errors from last night :-) SD
