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.)
