Summary: Tip configuration

Hi,

My original post was:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to configure a Sun E220R to connect to a NetApp Filer's console
thru' the serial port. So far i have added these lines to /.tiprc
baudrate=9600
parity=one

and eeprom | grep tty, produces this:
ttyb-rts-dtr-off=false
ttyb-ignore-cd=true
ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
ttya-ignore-cd=true
ttyb-mode=9600,8,n,1,-
ttya-mode=9600,8,n,1,-

When i do a 'tip /dev/cua/b', i just get the 'connected' message and nothing
after that. Could someone help me the parameters to be passed to tip?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solution turned out to be using a cross-serial cable with pins 2 and 3
crossed. The cable which works Filer<->Laptop (Hyperterminal) does not work
for Filer<->Sun box.

The /etc/remote has this entry:
hardwire:\
        :dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:

and now 'tip hardwire' works. :) And i do not require a .tiprc

Thanks to all those who replied.

Regards,

Siddhartha
