I need to be able to login to my Linux web server, via a communications server (Portmaster). The communications server will be connected to web server with a serial cable.
I've connected my PC to my web server's serial port (COM1) and (COM2) with a cross cable and tried to login with Tera Term. Tera Term cannot connect. Nothing shows on the terminal and anything I type does not appear on the screen. I have heard that I have to recompile the kernel with some options set to make COM1 AND COM2 come "alive". Questions: 0. Is it possible to have COM1, COM2, or BOTH come alive? 1. What options do I have to set when I compile my kernel? I am running "make xconfig" and I can't seem to find any option that turns this feature "on" on the GUI. Help! :-) Thanks, Peter
