Sorry to send you a message directly but I can't subscribe to mailing lists from
work
and this is my only internet access for now (until either ADSL or Cable Modem is

available in my area). I have Linux running on a Sparc20, and an external
machine
to which I can connect a serial cable on which the console (including all
startup
and debug info) is running. I'm presently using an NCD X terminal for this
purpose
but would prefer to slowly get that box off my desk and replace it permanently
with a Linux machine. For that I need to know which terminal program I can use.
I've tried minicom but that didn't see to work quite right (expecting a modem).

Would you have any suggestions? BTW I don't have kermit installed (default RH6.1

istallation)

Thanks!

Emmanuel
