Summary: I can't get getty or slip connections to work
Keywords: serial slip getty

Help! I can't get slip or getty to work.  I have edited /etc/ttys
and added the line for ttyd0, but without luck.  My terminal just
sits there.  Any thoughts?  The terminal is direct connected, with
a null modem in between.

I would like to get a real slip connetion going, but I can start
with getty
