Re: Connecting on COM 1
There is a Serial How-to. One reference is: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.html I use minicom to connect to a Cisco router over a serial line from a Linux box. Once I plugged in the right cable (a null modem) it just worked. No tinkering with Linux required. Mike That will help him, yes, Mike, but remember he asked for a login prompt? You use the port as a terminal. He wants a terminal (Hyperterminal) to log in to his box from what I understand. I'm sure he does have to tinker a bit ;-) Regards, Ed.

Hi, AFAIK, this is done modifying the inittab file so there is a spawning of mingetty (or was getty?) in the device /dev/ttyS0 (eg). mingetty will grant a login to the serial port 0.

Re: Connecting on COM 1
Yes, that is correct. I understand all the facets of Serial, just not sure how to hook it up to a Linux system. The reason I wanted to do this is so I can get console access to my server in-case my network goes down and I have to restart the server or a service. I will continue reading. Thanks for the info.

Re: Connecting on COM 1
Ok, I think I got it to work, or communicate anyway, but all I see is [[[pp][][]BBB][][[]] Looks like a COM port config issue.. You guys got me on the right track, and I appreciate it. I think I can figure out the rest (However, any additional help is always welcome :-P) Thanks again Joe On Fri, 2002-08-16 at 08:51, Joe Giles wrote: Yes, that is correct.

Re: Connecting on COM 1
List, Is there any spicific configuration I need to do to be able to connect to my server using Hyperterminal on COM 1? I tried this but I dont get a login... Yes there is a specific configuration. I've never done it and I really don't have too much of an idea, but I would assume it involves a NULL modem cable, and running some sort of getty over ttyS0 or 1. Doesn't the Linux Documentation Project have anything on this? I assume it would?
