Miscellaneous notes about using NetBSD
- The pkgsrc collection totally RULES.
- tip does not work well with Sun sparcs (at least sun4m) as a tool to
speak via a ttyb -> ttya serial connection. (Yes, even with the null
modem...)
Setup
SPARC-5 with the following entry in /etc/remote:
ttyb:dv=/dev/ttyb:br#9600:dc:
Symptom
Connection works, but RETURNs do not seem to make it. Typing ^J sort of
works, but not all the time.
Solution
Install "minicom" package from NetBSD's wonderful pkgsrc
collection. Configure appropriately. (Make sure to delete the modem init
string it has.)
