286.0. "Direct connect OSF/1 -> OSF/1" by BRUMMY::CARTERR (Confused of Birmingham..) Tue Jun 28 1994 09:48

    Hello.
    
    I would like to directly connect an OSF/1 box to another OSf/1 box.
    
    I take the alternate console port from the back of a DEC3000-800 to the
    same port (but NOT in alternate console mode) on a DEC3000-400.
    
    The editor says that tty01 is unavailable with CM running on the
    3000-400.
    
    How do I do it? Do I need an entry in inittab. Or /etc/securettys. Or
    any other file?
    
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    
    Richard.

	Richard, To make sure the serial port is alive and well, you could just hook up a terminal to the serial port. Try to see if you can copy a file to the /dev/tty01 and see if it appears on the terminal. If nothing appears, then the port isn't configured properly. Dave
