Connecting //c as Dumb Terminal to OS X

[Stephen Adams <sea4929@netscape.net>]

Hi folks.

Has anyone got any suggestions on where I can look for information that 
will allow me to connect my //c to my G4 tower running Mac OS X 10.2? 
Has anyone in this group even taken on such a challenge?

The tower has 4 real serial ports installed and they work with OS X just 
fine. A few years back, when I had some x86 machines with Linux lying 
around, I managed to set up the "getty" in Linux to accept the //c as a 
dumb terminal. However, I don't see any "getty" in Mac OS X, nor do I 
find the "rc.serial" scripts or anything that remotely looks like them.

Right now, the //c talks to OS X by way of a Mac OS X GUI-based terminal 
program that I execute from my user space in OS X. It works for simple 
file transfers but I ultimately would like to be able to log into my //c 
 and, using the G4 to provide shell services, use the Internet directly 
from the //c.

Any ideas on where to look would be appreciated. Thanks!

Steve
