Does anyone know how to connect a second terminal to a AT286 running SCO Xenix System V? I have a SCO Xenix System V installed in a AT286 machine and want to connect a HP-2624B terminal as a second tty device. I connected it to the COM2 port with a serial cable and made /dev/tty2a active. However it didn't work. Does anyone know how? Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bill

I think PC COM ports are set up the same as a terminal so a direct connection would have both send wires hooked together and both receive wires connected. ________________________________________________________________________________ Rick Stout ...uunet!eysd!rick Ernst & Young, San Diego (619) 236-1100 ================================================================================
