remote terminal via serial port

Hi,


I need to find out how to login from win2000 with hyper terminal. I’ve
spent the morning looking, but only came across an unfinished system admin
document. It can’t be that difficult can it???



Thanks in advance.

Can you use telnet instead?

add the following line to /etc/config/ttys:

ser1 “/bin/login” qansi-m on

Then when you restart (or restart tinit if you don’t feel like rebooting),
you will have a login listening on /dev/ser1. Note, however, that tinit
doesn’t set the serial port quite right so you can go ‘stty +edit <
/dev/ser1’ OR you can grab the fixed tinit I posted on qdn.public.qnxrtp.os
(thread “login on serial port”).

cheers,

Kris

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. That was along the lines of what I was
expecting.

RE: the telnet idea, the device wouldn’t be configured for TCP access at
this point. Hence the need to gain access via serial port to configure it.


Thanks
