[SLE] Newbie - serial connection
Hi, I'm new to Linux. I worked with UNIX and AIX system several years ago - moved away from them, but liked the environment and wanted my own system. I've just set up Linux 6.2 on a 90MHZ pentium machine. It seems to be mostly running okay, but there are some things I'm not familiar with (most likely, have forgotten). 1. When I login as root on this system I'm on tty1. Is this normal? Other systems use "console". 2. I would like to make a serial terminal connection to the Linux machine from a PC running Windoze' Hyperterm. I haven't had much luck. Anyone familiar with that setup?

First, make sure you have a suitable getty installed such as agetty. Then, to test it, try "agetty ttyS0 115200" and connect from hyperterm (replace with your speed/device of course). Once that is working, add an entry to your /etc/inittab that looks something like this: 00:123:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 115200 -- Daniel Vedøy Your mouse has moved. Windows needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
