I am trying to connect my 030 cube to my IBM PS2 50z and have had little
luck.  I made the cable (DIN 8 -> RS232) that is listed in many places.
Here is what I used:
Din 8       D25
1           8
2           20
3           3
4           7
5           2
8           7

I then changes the /etc/ttys file so it said:
ttya "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 on

and then did a:
kill -HUP 1

But nothing happened.
When I changed the line to include "/etc/getty D9600"  dialup on
in would print the login over and over again with the flag on my IBM term
program saying Online then Offline over and over again.

What would I be doing wrong?

Thanks!
