Now you have to create the launch daemon that will give the login prompt to the terminal: You need to add to the file '/etc/gettytab'Īdd the following two lines to the end of the file:ĥ. I'm going to guess that "/dev/tty.KeySerial1" is the correct deviceĤ. dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem /dev/tty.USA19H142P1.1 dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/tty.KeySerial1 Run the following command to see your device: `ls /dev/tty.*` Install drivers for USB to Serial adapterģ. I tried several, the only one that worked was a Tripp Lite KeyspanĢ. However I can't seem to find out what he's talking about on (). After adding a line in /etc/gettytab to manually set the terminal type to vt220 everything works perfectly!'

'Eventually I found this page (), which explains the problem and how to fix it. Open the console and type `screen /dev/tty.usbserial 19200' and I get a blank screen with solid non-blinking cursor at the top. Rebooting the computer with the VT220 plugged in and nothing happens.

Running `sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/ist` does nothing. I have the serial adapter -> a DB9 to DB25 Male Null Cable -> DB25/DB25 gender changer -> COMM port on the back of the VT220 Create /Library/LaunchDaemons/ist with the contents: I see my adapter as: '/dev/tty.usbserial'Īdd the following lines at the end of gettytab:Ĥ. Installed drivers for USB -> Serial adapter Some don't work at all, others create a lot of gibberish on the VT220.ġ. I tried several adapters and the one from Tripplite works the best. IF YOU'RE COMING HERE BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPPER ADAPTER
