Minicom on RH 7.3 and connection to Solaris
By Riddle - usenet poster
Dear experts,
we have installed a 8-port serial interface on an Intel PC
where we are using minicom 2.00 to have 8 Sun Solaris consoles
on our RH 7.3 desktop.
Everything is working fine except the case when our RH 7.3 system
is powered/shut down:
All connected Suns crashes i.e. falling back to the ok boot prompt.
Here is our used minirc.ttyS* file:
pr port /dev/ttyS*
pu baudrate 9600
pr bits 8
pr parity N
pr stopbits 1
pr rtscts NO
pr xonxoff YES
Is there any way to "save" our Suns?
Many thanks for your help!

Presumably those servers are accessible over the network. If so just
use ssh in 8 separate x-terms (or rxvt, my own choice) to connect with
them.
[acl]# ssh tar

I guess the Sun experts generally hang out on a Sun newsgroup.
On the Sun boxes, switch the kbd BREAK sequence to use the
alternate break sequence (varies from Sun to Sun box... but
nowadays the alternate sequence is <CR>-tilde-ControlB)
On the Sun boxes...
# kbd -a alternate
Personally I use the Cyclades terminal consoles... because the
also allow the portraying of serial connects across the network
and they HANDLE the accidental BREAK problem when dealing with
Sun boxen.
