Debugging serial ports

[Steve Morris <smorris@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know this has been discussed a thousand times but I can't get
communication working between My Sparc 20 and my pilot. admintool
shows what it should but I can't find eeprom. I really suspect that
there is a cabling problem, especially because I have a very exotic
cable provided to me by MIS here. Failing buying a serial port
protocol analyzer how do I debug this? Installing a terminal program
on the pilot would help. That will be easier when I have download
capability. Is there any built in capability to look at the serial
port of the pilot? I can run tip on the UNIX side or just cat garbage.

Why does it sometimes seem like I spend half my life making two RS 232
"standard" devices talk to each other.

Sigh...
