FYI, I have successfully connected a terminal (well, a pc with emulation) to my NeXT box. Here are the steps to take if your interested: 1. Acquire an "MAC+ to Imagewriter" 8pin -> db25 cable. 2. Plug cable into "A" port of NeXT and db25p of PC. 3. Log in as root of NeXT and: a. Turn "on" the "ttya" port and select proper terminal type in "/etc/ttys" file. b. Make whatever corrections to "/etc/gettytab" are necessary. 4. Power off/on system (actually init -1 1 might work). 5. Have fun with your terminal. -Lance Bledsoe -- Lance Bledsoe Off: (512) 343-1111 Pencom Software, Inc.

(thanks to Jon Hue) Wait a second... OK I now have my flame proof suit on... -Lance Bledsoe -- Lance Bledsoe Off: (512) 343-1111 Pencom Software, Inc.

... and did you solve the following Problem:
(or anyone else)
You login from the tty and turn it off (essentially DTR and RTS off).
Will you be automatically logged off?
I need that for calling in over a PAD and I dont like the idea that
if I'm disconnected anyone else can call in and continue my login.
j.k.
