I downloaded the most recent OS X binary, and followed some
instructions someone else provided on how to set up permissions for
the lock file. Everything seemed to be working.
I wanted to see if I could control a Sun Sparc 10 running headless
>from an iMac using Kermit. To get at the serial port on the SS 10 I
have the following set up [ iMac -> [ Linksys 4-Port Hub] -> USB Twin
Serial Adaptor -> Old Mac 9 mini din to 25DB modem cable -> null modem
-> SS10.
I was able to connect as far as I can tell, but I was not able to send
a Break. I emailed Keyspan and have been scouring the net, but I'm
wondering if anyone here can offer me insight. I was able to do some
form of loop back testing by taking an old Mac 9 pin mini-din (both
ends) printer cable and connecting both ports on the Keyspan USB twin
serial adaptor. All I established there was I don't seem to get line
feeds and sending a break seems to disconnect. Anyone have good
suggestions on loopback testing, connecting through USB ports, or Mac
OS X perculiarities?
