    Thank you all for your replys. My answers are inline:

    > : Do you have getty running on that port on the SBC?

    yes. It should be running. We have in /etc/ttys (openbsd)

    tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure

    > Do you have all the modem pins connected for this cable?

    I got this null modem from circuit city. it worked in other
    circumstances when I do serial debugging on other boxes.

    >Also, make sure and use the right speed. e.g., if the remote box's >console is running at 9600, do 'cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600'

    I tried this and still no login prompt.

    One thing I've noticed on the FreeBSD (5.4 RELEASE) dmesg is
    sio0: port may not be enabled

    I enabled the first serial port in the BIOS, but I still get this.
    Me scratching head now. Anything else I may be missing?

    J.
