Terminal Not Providing login: Prompt
When I use 'tip' I seem to bee connected, but I get no login prompt. $ tip sio0 connected and nothing else. If I telnet to the receiving host and redirect a file to the serial line, I do see data being transmitted. The formatting is a bit off though. (remote)$ cat /etc/issue (remote)$Hello there! (remote)$ (remote)$This is a serial line terminal. (remote)$ cat /etc/issue /dev/ttyd0 (local)Hello there! (local) (local) This is a serial line terminal. ^^ extra spaces are garbage output Every document I have read assumes that your terminal will just work. I am connecting a FreeBSD host to a FreeBSD host using default 9600 baud settings and things aren't working well. It's probably pretty hard to determine the fix for my problem via email. Can anyone point me to a reference that is comprehensive regarding unix serial communications and terminals? Or am I making this harder than it should be? Thanks, Jason C.

This marks the first time I ever busted out my multimeter to work on FreeBSD. :) Here is a pin to pin map of the DB9 connectors that I am using: 1,6-4 2-3 3-2 4-1,6 5-5 7-8 8-7 9-null According to a couple online pinout maps this is a proper null modem cable. If I understand your question correctly, this cable has all the control lines connected. Later, Jason C.
