This is a novice question but here goes: Is there a way to connect a normal ascii terminal to a AT, in place of the keyboard and display. I would like to be able to run a async line from the back of my Sun and be able to access the pc using tip or kermit. I don't just want to do file transfers I want to be able to use the pc from the sun. Note that I do not need to be able to do any screen oriented stuff, just compiles and such. Thanks for any leads on this.

Thanks for any leads on this. No problem. On the PC, set up the port to the right specs with MODE - (i.e., C>mode com1:9600,n,8,1). Then say "ctty com1" (no colon). The only way to get it back is to use the new console on com1 and say "ctty con" or to reboot.
