Thanks - yeah, I saw that in the manual, and online, saw the 9600, did that, no joy at all. Just sits there at a blank screen. Btw, about flow control: h/w?s/w? Those are my two options in minicom.

F - Hardware Flow Control : No G - Software Flow Control : No
*sigh* Oh, and add a linefeed, per the online (not in doc) instructions, and still no joy, it just sits there. I do know, btw, that the cable's good - it's a straight through - since another admin uses this cable from this server to go to her L2 controller on the big (older) SGI cluster.
