Uh, using telnet? Via SLIP (internet protocol over serial)? Or do you just mean as a dumb terminal? > I did actually read all those fine manuals > and HOWTO's but am still a little confused and could > need some more comprehensive explanation on how to con- > figure both client and server, namely port config, tel- > net config, termcap stuff, and the like. If as a dumb terminal, for the server, look at /etc/inittab, there should be something you can comment out about tty on the serial port. For the client, just use minicom and it should work. Speaking of which, I can't get a modem dialin to work using those commented lines in initttab. Any ideas? It's an internal Rockwell modem, I can dial out with it, but the modem doesn't answer. This is on potato, and the inittab line is: T0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 115200 ttyS0 If SLIP, sorry, I can't help. > May the Source be with You. And also with you. :-) BTW, you should use tzconfig (I think that's the Slink command, maybe it's timezones) to set your timezone. Thanks for any help on the modem question, -Adam P.
