I don't have a monitor for this machine so I've been swapping my monitor between this machine and my NT workstation. I do have an old ASCII terminal from years back and it occurred to me that I should be able to plug it into a serial port and configure it to be my system console. How easy is this to do? Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me how I can go about doing this? Thanks! Bruce Bruce W.
