Re: Serial Port Issues

[bharat@shadow (Bharat Mediratta)]

This has been a fairly common question. 

Using admintool, my port settings are:

	Template:		Terminal - Hardwired
	Service Enable:		True
	Baud Rate:		9600
	Terminal Type:		tvi925
	Options:		Initialize Only, Software Carrier
	Login Prompt:		ttya login:
	Comment:		<blank>
	Service Tag:		ttya
	Port Monitor Tag:	zsmon
	Expert Options:		Create utmp Entry
	Service:		/usr/bin/login
	Streams Modules:	ldterm,ttcompat
	Timeout (secs):		Never
	
I'm sure not all of these are necessary, but I'm not expert
enough to know which you need to set.  However, I do know
that with these settings it all works properly for me.

Good luck,
