I connect my laptop to serial all the time with a couple systems I have.
It's just a regular serial cable connected from the back of your laptop to
the serial connection on the system.. I found that using hyperterminal works
well. The settings that work for me include setting Hyperterminal to VT100
and exporting your display once logged into the system to VT320. This allows
Smitty to run with no funny stuff on the screen.

To All:

I first want to say thank you for those who suggested using a laptop as the
console to our old RS6000 (F50 and P630). We want to move forward with that
idea. Do you know what type of serial cable to use to connect to the
RS6000s?? We have tried null modem and a few others on hand. What
configuration do we use? Or do you have one that would work from the PC
serial port to the RS6000 serial port?

Thanks again!

FMB
