In that case you should use "loop back hardware handshaking". Make sure that you have a wiring like this: 3 ------------- 2 TXD / RXD 2 ------------- 3 RXD / TXD 5 ------------- 5 GND 7 -+ +- 7 RTS 8 -+ +- 8 CTS 6 -+ +- 6 DSR 1 -+ +- 1 DCD 4 -+ +- 4 DTR i.e. connect pin 2 of one connector to pin 3 on the other and vice versa. Connect pin 5 of one connector to pin 5 on the other. Shorten pins 7 to 8 and 6 to 1 to 4. (If you want real hardware handshaking connect pin 7 of one connector to pin 8 on the other and vice versa.) > Anyway, working on cross building a current kernel on the > NetBSD/sparc64 machine for hp700 (there's a combination for you) and > then booting it off the net from the NetBSD/sparc64 machine. You can not build hp700 on LP64 machines due to bugs in GCC. You will get internal compiler errors. -- tschüß, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/
