How can I access a device through ttyS2 (serial line from mainboard 9 pin serial port) with telnet (or any way)? The device (that darned Cisco 675 "router/modem," yet) has no documented IP address preset, and the MSWin info (I'm in Linux 2.2) says to simply open a term program and "push the enter key two or three times" with no mention of any host address. Will the MAC address help in any way?
If nothing else, do any of you have any info on how to access ttyS2 in general? I've set setserial for that port. Art
