Hey everyone,

the first hurdle to running up a hp workstation is finally behind me, I have a working i386 box :).

I'm not sure if it's been asked before, but when I went to the web site, I couldn't find a link to, if they exist, searchable list archives.

Anyway, maybe someone can answer me in their reply, what is needed for the serial cable between the i386 and parisc box?

Is it just a plain old null modem cable?

If not what do I have to ask for to make sure that i can connect to the serial port of the HP box?

Thanks,

Pete.

There is (at least) one. Try this:

Have a look here for a description of how to setup a 712 to do console output via RS232:
