Summary of most respones,
Apparently, my settings seem to be right. Although I tried almost all
the possible combination of different settings (baud rate, parity, flow
control, etc....), nothing seems to work. I will have to bring this
sucka to work and attach a sun monitor to it to check it out. As far as
the cable being null cable, it is because I checked it with an eletrical
meter and pins 2 and 3 are reversed, as they should be.
It is probably something to do with the fact that the serial port on the
SS10 is labeled A/B (there is only one physical DB-25 connector labeled
A/B). I will have to see that the output is actually going out to
ttya. I will update later.
Thanks!

# ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

Hi!
I am new to the sun world, and thus I got myself a used ss10. I have no
monitor for it, nor a keyboard or a mouse. I am trying to connect my nt
box to it through a null modem cable. I plug the 25-pin end into the
ss10, and the db-9 end into the nt box, on COM1. Then I use SecureCRT
to connect to COM1 (I also tried Hyperterminal). The following are the
settings for COM1:
Baud: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: RTS/CTS (default value)
When I try to connect, it seems to connect but doesn't display anything
in the window. I have tried different combinations of those paramaters,
but obviously I have not gotten it yet. Would anyone please assist me
in this (probably) simple problem. I would greatly appreciate it. And
of course I will summarize, with the Original Question!
What am I doing wrong?
