I am trying to connect a terminal to my PC running Debian 2.1. I added the following line to my /etc/inittab file:
<T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 viewpoint3a+> My terminal is in the Adds viewpoint 3a+ personality, set for FDX, set for 9600 baud, connected to the PC using a standard modem cable. After I added the line in /etc/inittab I saved and exited and issued the command <init q>, no error messages resulted, but no login prompt on terminal either. Do I have to edit more files in order to get a login prompt on the terminal? Will a standard modem cable work? John Anderson
