Yes. You need to make sure that the 4th column says "off" on the 4.10 machine; and make sure that they say "yes" on the 5.3 machine that you're connecting to. Make sure you do a "kill -HUP 1" on both boxes so that the system rescans /etc/ttys. > The fact that the 5.3 box bios has the built-in serial terminal feature > enabled doesnt affect to this one? > In sense that it should enable the possibility to even make bios changes > or install OS wherever text mode is available. (Main idea of the thing > is to ensure availability of the other machine) I'm not sure what you're saying here. Most machines come with serial-ports; so yes, you can enable them to accept gettys so that you can access them remotely by using a serial cable.
