terminal through serial port a

2007-12-24 20:17:00

I have a Sun Enterprise 220. I want to set up HyperTerminal on my PC as a
terminal for the Sun box using the serial port. I have a cable going into
serial port A of the Sun box connected and it's connected to the com port of
the PC. For the life of me I cannot get any display.
I have upgraded and configured HyperTerminal to 8n1 and the Sun box is
configured to 8n1. When I do a printenv my output device is set to screen
but when I try to change it to ttya I get an error. I have even power down
the system and removed the keyboard cable, no avail.
The sun box does have a pci graphic card and that works fine. According to a
web site I was at, it indicates about a "null modem adapter"? Do I really
need one? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
