Hi,
I have a basic question.
(1) For intstance what protocol does login or getty use ? Assuming if one
succesfully connects a dumb terminal to the serial line (tty1 or tty2)
and gets a login prompt, I would think getty uses some protocol to that
serial connection - is this tcp/ip or is it rs-232 ?
(2) I know or think that the Berkley (BSD) system creates pseudo terminals
over the ethernet using TCP/IP - could be wrong ?
Thanks.
Shirley
