To verify: What you really want is a way to connect via serial cable from one computer to another, accessing a command prompt?

If that is the case, then you need to set up a serial terminal server on the BSD machine (II2II suggests getty, which is usually fine.) Then a serial terminal client (such as ZTerm) on the classic Mac OS machine.

I want to access the command prompt. I will take a look at getty. I should of said this at the start, I am trying to connect with my PowerBook 150 to my BSD based Freenas, which has an Ethernet card.

pee-air:

How would I go about setting up "baud rate, parity, stop bit, etcetera" on a BSD machine?
