[comp.sys.hp] Adding a terminal to hp 9000-350.

luism@genesis.Berkeley.EDU (Luis Miguel) (02/21/91)

I am trying to attach a terminal via the serial port to my
9000-350. Since I have only 1 port that I have been using
for outgoing modem calls, I tried to simply use the same port,
as is, for the terminal. I then started a getty at the right speed
(9600 baud) and the right device. But, no response at the terminal
(an hp2621b by the way). What am I doing wrong?

What are my options?

A quick look in the Peripheral Installation Guide on pages 9-13
and 10-70 suggests that you need different /dev files for these
two devices.  (The terminal's minor number is 0x090004, and the 
modem uses 0x090000 and 0x090001).

I'd start with that manual.
