John - please could you elaborate on a) what USB<->serial adapter you
used*, b) the necessary changes to /etc/ttys, c) which OS X version you
got this working under?
You bet...
a) Keyspan "High Speed USB Serial Adapter USA-19HS
<http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/USA19HS/>
b) Add a line similar to the following to /etc/ttys:
tty.USA19H181P1.1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
c) 10.2.8 [PowerBook G4] and 10.2.8(G5) [Yes, I hooked it up to my
dual 2GHz G5.]
John
The point
of my exercise was to verify that a real VT100 would
perform hooked up to OS X through a USB serial adapter. [It worked
fine.] <snip>
I'm actually very happy to hear this. I have a serial
adaptor hooked up to
my dual G4 I intend to connect a terminal to, <snip>
