- I have a Telebit T2500 running at 19.2 over a serial line. The line is
- used for dial in/out but here is the poop. In /etc/ttys change the
- 'mode' byte (second byte) to point to an entry in /etc/gettydefs. Mine
- is 1ntty1A which means enabled, use gettydef entry n on tty1A. See 'man
- ttys' for details.
-
- In gettydefs, I have entry n as:
-
- n # EXTA HUPCL # EXTA CS8 SANE HUPCL TAB3 -IXANY #\r\n@ login: # n
-
- Note that the speed is 'EXTA' this means 19200. EXTB means 38400.
-
- Since the line is direct, I think these two changes may be all you need.
