I inherited a G-class server it has a ps2 like serial connector for the console. Ps2 like cause it bigger than a typical ps2 and smaller than the old style pc keyboards. I was able to find the pinouts, rig up a cable and configure hyperterm (8N1,Xon/Xoff)to display the boot output to the screen. So everything looked great until I tried to log in at the console prompt. Nothing I typed seemed to get through to the machine. I don't know the IP so I can't telnet, rlogin or remsh. I also ran a serial monitor and didn't see the user name being sent. I also tried qcterm (sp) it's a freeware hp terminal eumation program. The results were the same except. The serial monitor did see data sent to the machine (or at least to the port local to the pc)
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
