Hello. I am playing with one VT220 plugged to the serial port of one Pentium
4 laptop. I have Cygwin installed, with Init and getty started, and the
serial port defined with VT200 and 9600 bauds, and I want to open one
session under Cygwin from the VT220. Of course something happens under
Cygwin, because every "enter" opens a new login in the ps list under Cygwin.
But nothing appears in the VT220 screen...
With this previous explain, the question for gurus is: Would I need one DEC
cable to plug the VT220 (by the way, 25 pin interface) in the Laptop Serial
`port (9 pin port) ? Or can I use a normal serial cable ?
Thanks and Regards
