Use an old serial VT100 terminal with OS X
Authored by: wdunnahoo on Mar 10, '08 10:57:33PM

This was working for me using a KeySpan USA-19HS on Tiger using

tty.KeySerial1 "/usr/libexec/getty serial.9600" vt100 on secure

in the /etc/ttys file. I've upgraded to Leopard and this no longer works. I no longer get a login prompt on the terminal. I verified the serial line works by "cp"ing to and from the terminal. I really need this because I work on several OpenVMS systems that require full VT100 functionality (actually a VT525 with a LK411 keyboard) through ssh. As I'm not entirely up to speed on UNIX so the man pages haven't provided any help for me.

Thanks for any help,

Wesley
