Very Computer

The way to do it is get the Amiga with linux or the Amiga Unix on it and
they could talk direct. Or failing that you should be able to hook up
the null modem cable/box and use an Amiga term program like "Term" or
Termite or one that does VT 100 emulation. VT 100 or VT 220 should be
compatable enough for linux to talk to it. OR see if there is a Samba
port for the AMiga. DOn't know if there is, haven't tried hooking my
amiga up to my linux box "YET". Just got it set back up.

In /etc/inittab add:
S1:1:respawn:/etc/getty 9600 ttyS0 (first COM port)

In /etc/gettydefs add:
DT9600# B9600 CS8 CLOCAL # B9600 SANE -ISTRIP CLOCAL # login: #DT9600

Do a 'init q' (and maybe reboot - or run 'getty -c gettydefs') and you should
be set.

Remi, I am running 5.0 with all the updates installed. As it turns out it is
quite
easy to maintain Amigas via PPP or Ethernet on a Linux server. For starters
you need to contact Holger Kruse and get a copy of Miami. (If you have a
complex network on that Amiga then whuffo you wanna do PPP to it? {^_-})
Once you have that I can help you in private email fairly easily, I believe.
(I
use the Interworks TCP/IP stack along with Holger's PPP device driver. But
then I have the kind of complex network that needs that sort of thing.)

(I performed some hacks to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
scripts to cater to the particular demands of such usage. I can easily
enough
pass them along to you.)
