Hi Tim,Gotcha, didn't I?
Anyway Gang, CT here with his usual inane banter about stuff that don't mean much......
I have my TP755CD/Dock working super with RedHat6.0. I don't have my modem installed yet.......it should arrive in a day or so, and then I can hit the net.......
I just want to do one simple (?) thing right now......and that is to access it from this machine (Windows98SE) with a null-modem cable using TeraTerm as a terminal program. I have the same setup with a W98SE machine connected to my RISQ machine, and when the system is booted, the terminal monitor text asks for login and everything works super.
With the setup on this machine, when I boot TeraTerm, I get a screen with a blinking cursor, and it tells me I am connected.
How in the great bloody hell do I login to the Linux machine? I have absolutely no idea what to type or how to send, or even how to test to see if the null-modem cable is working.........
HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPP (Please?)
CT the Bewildered
Most Linux distros aren't set to listen on the console ports by default. This tutorial will guide you in the right direction. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/getty.html. Most likely you will want the agetty section.
