i have a WYSE terminal that I use with my YDL distribiution, is there anyway to bring this terminal online in macos X?
 
my thought would be to get a USB-serial
widget and assuming that the driver
software is reasonable, you should be
able to enable 'getty' on that line and
have it work.
 
appologies necessary, i'm using a 1998 series g3 powerbook, probably the only macos X compatible machine with serial ports, i'm not sure how to use getty in macos x, so if you could be a little more specific that would help, thx :p
 
You'll want to edit the /etc/ttys file to
turn the appropriate tty 'on' and then
you need to tell the init process to reread
the file via a 'kill -s HUP 1'
 
I have tried the above with no success. My computer is a dual G5 with a USB serial converter. The devise is on /dev/tty.usbserial
And I have also used the kill command with no luck any help would be great.
