- My VGA monitor died recently, and the backup CGA card/composite monitor
- combo I thought I had doesn't work for DOS or Linux.. (problem with CGA card,
- I think).
-
- I do have access to dumb terminals, and I've all the serial cables and null
- modem adapters I need... but, how do I set up Linux to accept logins from
- the serial port? Preferably something I can type blind... :-) This'll let me
- use the PC for some things until I can get enough money for another VGA
- monitor.....

- Thanks,
- Tom C.
