[expert] vt520 dec terminal

[Kenneth Kline]

I got a DEC 520 terminal and I would like to hook it up to my linux box via a serial connections.  I haven't looked to hard but are their any howto's on the subject?  1.  I got my inintab containing entries for both my serial portss ttyS0 & ttyS1.  2.  I run ps -aux and my 8 terminals are running tty1-6,ttyS0,ttyS1. 3.  Securetty?  what does that do? currently no entries for ttyS0,ttyS1. 4.  /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config #blah blah blah port ttyS0 direct y speed 19200 toggle dtr-n  ?  what does this do? 5. I configured the terminl to vt-100 at 19,200 on com1 in the terminal, is their anything else I am missing? My friend and system administrator at fsc gave me two custom ends used on our vms box.  They are custom ends which allow catg-5 to be ran between them.  I know they are wired properly.   I treid to echo something to the terminal as a test.  I tried "echo ttyS0 scumbag"  nothing.    Bad Terminal? any help would be greatly accepted thresher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Registered User # 122907   Kenneth Kline Information Technlogy Fairmont State College [EMAIL PROTECTED]   SMP, twice the fun!
