Connecting to serial port using HyperTerminal
I see the Terminals docs in the handbook for connecting to the serial port. It looks as if maybe my FreeBSD 5.2 has getty up and running with several instances: 64553 v0 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv0 808 v1 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv1 809 v2 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2 810 v3 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv3 811 v4 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv4 812 v5 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv5 813 v6 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv6 814 v7 Is+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv7 What do I need to do more to allow the connection from my Windows machine in HyperTerminal? I've tried various settings, can someone suggest the correct settings? -- Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The line you need (which needs to be uncommented) should look like this: ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 vt100 on secure Then you need to reHUP your getty process.

ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 vt100 on secure I found an existing line for ttyd0 set for dailup and off, I replaced it with the one you suggested. Now, the ttyd0 shows up in the processes running, but still no luck connecting. I have things set to 9600 baud with 8|None|1|Hardware and VT100 emulation.

Is the serial port enabled (BIOS kernel)? Do you get positive output when you do $ cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep sio[[:digit:]] f.ex: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A In /etc/ttys ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup off secure means first serial port; cable is connected to that port?

If they're using different protocols, is there a BSD hyperterminal version? My understanding of terminal emulation and remote access is very limited. Also, I know next to nothing about tip. However, I've had a certain amount of success using kermit in FreeBSD to dial into a vendor's server when I was supposed to be using hyperterminal in Windows . I use kermit to dial the modem, use the vendor's command line menu interface and to transfer files. Here's the contents of a kermit script I use to dial a certain vendor: -start script file #!/usr/local/bin/kermit set line /dev/modem set speed 57600 set dial connect on dial phone number -end of script file Have fun, Andrew Gould ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install With Serial Console Troubled Using Hyperterminal (FreeBSD 5.2 RC2 I386)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi people, I am having real problems installing FreeBSd on a (in practice) headless box (which is actually a FIC 5200-CD Birch notebook with the lid closed up and sealed forming a nice little box with peripherals showing :-) ) using M$ HyperTerminal from Windblows 2000 on an accessible machine with screen reader (bit of software that talks, basically). My intent, as I am totally blind and so cannot install FreeBSD directly from keyboard and screen on the laptop, was to get an install full enough done over the serial console that would include means that would allow me to get remote access to the box over the network (TelnetD/SSHD, etc) from the Windows machine, from whence the full power of FreeBSD could (hopefully) be enjoyed (this is to act as my services box), perhaps by installing screen/BRLTTY or YASR or other accessibility aid I can free the real console. I had to spend money on a network card (PCMCIA) so Linux would work, but my old card is listed as working with FreeBSD (and it certainly doesn't work with Linux), plus FreeBSD is just more Me anyway and better for the job ... so I'd *really* like to run it. Trouble is, if I follow these steps: 1. Set up HyperTerminal, Com1 at 9600, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no hardware control. 2. Put kern.flp from FreeBSD 5.2 RC2 in floppy drive. Boot up until I hear the initial bootstrap start (what gets displayed there, BTW, and what is this prompt asking me for? What is this bootstrap, the bootloader?), then type -h and press enter. 3. Listen to a whole lot of messages come from the console running Hyperterminal. Insert mfsroot, press enter on terminal, as expected it goes on. 4. Type 1 for ANSI, press enter. Least graphics/7-bit ASCII which is great. Only thing I can't see is highlighting, but that's alright because initial letters work in menus. 5. Press N, gets me the main menu. Now, as soon as I press down arrow cursor, the Do you really want to exit dialog pops up. This stopped becoming a problem when Standard Jis was selected as input from terminal input translation, but it doesn't look like the cursor keys are behaving. Also in the usage and keymap selections, I couldn't use cursors or pageup/down, nothing seemed to move. I don't believe my cursors are working at all, or properly. I've tried a multitude of combinations of terminal types from the initial selection (the 1-5 prompt), and selections in Hyperterminal to match. Nothing. :-( I'll try testing this on earlier versions, going back to 4.9, where I have a nasty suspicion from what I've read somewhere that it will, in fact, work there. It does without saying though that I would like to use the 5.2 release, because of its nice features (for me the notable GCC 3, for starters). Can *anyone* who might have *any* answer (apart from RTFM), please let me know? (I'm not on list, so if you could CC me when you reply to list or vice versa - thanks) Your help much appreciated!

I've now done this, and - behold - it all works fine (cursors, delete key if you press it as backspace, pageup/pagedn) but *before* sysinstall - afterward, inside sysinstall, if I select the ANSI terminal option (1), it reverts to its previous behaviour. It is worth noting, though, that hyperTerminal was set up as an ANSI terminal during the hole time! Does this help? Any ideas with this extra info?
