Yes, I know you will say "what are you doing running Bering 1.2 on an Aptiva"?
The Aptiva 2176/C66 is a Pentium 1 66Mhz with 16Mb ram...
It is one the many otherwise useless machines I have at home.

Bering 1.2 floppy is working fine otherwise, but I wanted to connect one of my PC hosts
in through the Aptiva's serial port.
When Bering boots I see the message "TTYS01 is a 16550A"
The line I use in etc/inittab is
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty/ -L ttyS01 19200 vt100

But, a few minutes after boot I get the message on the firewall console
INIT: id T1 spawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.

Hyperterminal never says it is connected, but there is no reponse.
I have googled for IBM Aptiva 2176 C66 serial port and found some radio shack web page 
with the specs
Tried also using ttyS0 and ttyS1 since the aptiva supposedly has two serial ports (one 
might have been the modem)
But no luck with any of the ttyS01, S0 or S1 designations.


Any ideas what to do here?

TIA,
Rick
