You check /etc/inittab and enabled a getty on a serial line right? :) T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt220 If you're having problems, stay with lower rates until you get it working. Once it's working, kick the rate up until it stops. It's been a long while since I played with serial consoles on Linux so beyond what I just typed I don't remember much. I don't remember doing anything beyond enabling a getty and configuring the terminal though... -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
