Hi!
I recently got a beautiful and likely functional VAXstation 4000/90 (cougar). When I turn it, leds turn on and off and it makes a beautiful sound at the end of the initialization process. It then turns off all leds, hence indicating no error. Although everything seems fine, I cannot show the console prompt connecting a Linux machine to the VAX. I rechecked configuration:
S3 switch is at the console position (up), a null modem cable is connected between Linux machine and the VAX. I have already tested the cable between one Linux and one BSD machine and it looks fine. I'm trying to connect to the machine using command:
This is *exactly* the command I'm using to connect to the BSD machine. The VAXstation 4000/90 manual says the baudrate is 9600 and that is what I'm using. Unfortunatelly, there doesn't seem to exist any other indicator to tell me if I'm having any problem with my configuration.
Do you have a clue?
Thanks!
