Date: 14 Nov 1995 22:27:01 GMT Organization: TASC Lines: 28 Distribution: world Message-ID: <SKAY.95Nov14172701@ripley.read.tasc.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ripley.read.tasc.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd:16750 comp.unix.solaris:51822 Hi all, I have a Sparc IPC machine with two serial ports and have hooked up the output from a HIPPI networking card which previously went to a dumb terminal. The dumb terminal worked great but I need logging. So now that I have everything hooked up I tried "cat < /dev/ttya" for serial port A, and then remotely forced the board to generate some output. Low and behold it worked fine (except I get an extra <CR> between each line). When I tried "cat > /dev/ttya" from another xterm and tried to dump a board register I got nothing on the output (which should have dumped the contents of the register). My question is how to I set up a terminal emulation session off of /dev/ttya? Can I do this with TIP or could I do it directly through an xterm? I have to beleive there's a simple way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Scott -- ******************************************************************************* Scott Kay TASC, Inc. 55 Walkers Brook Drive Reading, MA INTERNET ADDRESS: spkay@TASC.COM *******************************************************************************
