Suppose you have a sun-server without gfx-card inside, the console is set by default to /dev/term/a (serial port a) which means you can't connect a modem for dial-out at port A<br />
<br />
If your modem is conneted to port B you should use<br />
<br />
tip hardwireb<br />
<br />
and probably adapt speed settings in /etc/remote<br />

A good config file to loo through is your /etc/remotes file. &nbsp;It is where you can define all of you tip connections, and see what the defaults are, unless you have changed them.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
