SUMMARY: Minicom<->Sun Howto?

I asked:

>I'm looking for a howto on setting up minicom (RedHat 9) to function as a
>serial console for a Sun E450.  Kinda the equivalent of 'tip hardwire'.

Concensus is:

o	null modem cable (REQUIRED)
o	9600 8N1
o	hardware flow control
o	ttyS0 (if using first serial port)
o	edit /etc/default/kbd on Sun to disable break

I had some trouble with terminal emulation in running through a Solaris
install.  Neither minicom's ANSI or VT102 worked properly and I had to
work from memory on some of the screens since the display was scrambled.

Of additional interest, Kevin has a web page describing use of the 'cu'
utility instead of minicom.  See http://inscoe.org/load.cgi?linuxserial

Thanks, all.
