Alright guys....the serial cable was indeed bad. I finally got the ok prompt.
Only one problem. I can't type anything at the ok prompt. I can terminate cu and get back in, but when I'm in, I can't type anything. If I let it come up to a SunOS login, I can type stuff. This is really weird. I used terminal type vt100 or sun on the computer accessing the Sun. Help appreciated Vivek On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 7:39 AM, L. V.
