- i got a Heathkit H19 terminal today and I'd like to hook it up
- to my Linux box. Let's see if I got this right. Could someone
- tell me if this is the correct procedure for setting it up.
-
- I'll get a RS-232 cable to hook from the terminal to my COM2 serial port.
- I think the Heath kit is a VT52. any1 know if this true????
- Then, I'll need to know it's baud rate. I'll assume 9600 to start
- with.
-
- So to I'd simply type
- 'getty /dev/ttys2 9600' to instablish a login prompt on the terminal???
- When I log in, would I have to set the terminal type??? Is there
- a termcap entry for the vt52??? how would I set that???
-
- Thanx in advance. You guys are great and all-knowing.
- Later
