UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Im trying to log in to a Sun Ultra5 using a serial cable connected to a Window 2000's box running hyperterminal. When the machine boots up, I can see the output on the hyperterminal screen but the keyboard doesnt seem to work properly, preventing me from typing in the root password. Can anyone help?

check your settings
9600/8/n/1 vt100 cross_db9or25

Cheers pressy. That seemed to help, I also had to set xon/xoff also to eventually get it to work.

Hello Friends,

I have created code,
which receives data from the comport form another sys

My program is working, but 20% of data are lost during
travelling from another sys to my system.

What is the exactly problems with it.

I think it is a buffer error, but i change it and try
again but got same problems

If u know

Plz guide me,

Thanks in Advance

Your receiving system is probably not using the same flow control as the sending system. Make both either xon-xoff, or rts-cts, or slow the baud rate down to 2400 and you should be able to run without any flow control.

Thank you for your reply

I have set all flow for that and also all setting which are set in the hyper terminal like baud rate and so on,

Does your code control the sending of the stop bit? If so then you are sending it too late, send it when the buffer is 50% full, instead of 75% (substitute your own values here).
