[ale] OT: Connect to SparcServer 20 via hyperterminal

[Michael E. Barker]

That's just it.  I can use the rj45 to hyperterminal to a sun fire box.  Are
you saying it can't be done with the SS20?

Make sure you don't have a keyboard attached to the sun keyboard plug
on the box.  Also if there is a frame buffer in you might want to take
that out as it will default to tty if there is no frame buffer in.

Also make sure your cable is a null modem cable.

Also I believe the serial port on the SS20 is a db25 and not a rj45.
Make sure you're in the right port.
