I seem to be going blind reading the docs on how to view the same console when I connect the Switch to the Serial (RS-232 port on any of my FreeBSD servers. Any hints, comments on how to set up freebsd to allow access to the switch console would be appreciated. Try installing minicom. It's in the ports-tree in : /comms/minicom . There are other programs to talk to serial ports on FreeBSD, but this is what I often use. It's a console program with a nice user interface. grtz, Daan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
