Date: 23 Jan 1996 00:05:26 GMT Organization: Motorola Cellular Infrastructure Group Lines: 11 Message-ID: <4e18o6$s70@newdelph.cig.mot.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: komondor.cig.mot.com Under FreeBSD, how difficult is it to redirect the console to a serial port so as to set up a headless workstation? I have a box I want to run in a remote area, and would prefer to not have a keyboard/monitor tied up there just to use the console- it would be much easier to simply hook the serial port to a dumb terminal on a switchbox and access the console that way. Kevin (The PC has an option to ignore the missing keyboard, so that's not a problem)
