Re: Connecting to Sun Ultra 5 over serial line

[Chad M Stewart]

Being a U5, its used, which means someone could have changed the baud  
rate of the serial port.  :)  I've got two U10s, a SS20, and 220R in  
my basement^H^H data center.  ;-)

If you can use a keyboard & monitor to get to the ok prompt, then you  
can check the speed of the serial port.  I can't remember the command  
right now, but a search on the web should point in the right  
direction.  I don't recall if the U5s are like the U10s in this  
respect, if so, then don't break the serial connection once the  
machine is booted.  Otherwise it'll do the equivalent of stop-a.  My  
main mail server was up over 500 days when I had to move things  
around.  I accidently pulled the serial cable, damn it.  :)
