Thanks to billt@dat.com (Bill Townsley),
Johnny Hui <jhui@campton.Eng.Sun.COM>
Alex Finkel <afinkel@pfn.com>
for the _very_ quick and helpful responses.
I used a NULL modem cable between the Sparcs. On the Sparc which has a
monitor I used the A/B serial cable to connect serial B to the second
Sparc.
I added to the first Sparc's /etc/remote file the following:
terminal:\
:dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
Using 'tip terminal' got me connected good and proper!
There was a problem with using Serial A, sunos kept saying that it was
already in use but using Serial B gave me no problems.
Bill Townsley mentioned something which I have noticed before...
"Bear in mind that connecting the cable to your server sends
an interrupt that may halt the machine."
Can anyone tell me why this happens? Because removing the cable _always_
halts the Sparc.
I would also appreciate someone sending me the pinouts for the Sparc A/B
serial port.
later.
