It is not a tutorial and does not cover all variations of serial port usage. But, between the explanations and the scripts, you should be able to get common asynchronous modems and terminals working fairly quickly. o Setting up a terminal on Solaris 2.x o Setting Up a Bidirectional Modem on Solaris 2.x o Setting up a Modem for dial-out only o Tip and /etc/remote o Setting other serial port modes o Random notes of various uses of serial ports ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9001: General FlashBack/SunFlash Information This article contains general information about the electronic journals that I edit and publish: "SunFlash" , "The Sun FlashBack" and "The Internet Sun FlashBack" I produced "The Florida SunFlash" for nearly six years. "SunFlash" is the continuation of that journal. When "SunFlash" grew to about 100 articles per month, 140,000+ subscribers and 30,000+ article requests per month I decided that it was time to make some changes. For a variety of reasons, I started the two new journals, "The Sun FlashBack" and "The Internet Sun FlashBack" , and moved production of all three journals to an independent company with its own resouces and Internet domain (FlashBack.COM). My goal, as always, is to provide useful, timely, high-quality information to the Sun user community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9002: FlashBack and SunFlash Index This article contains a one line index entry for each of the articles posted to the electronic journals that I edit and publish: "SunFlash" , "The Sun FlashBack" and "The Internet Sun FlashBack" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You may send for any of these articles by sending mail to FlashBack@FlashBack.COM.
