Connect the two servers using a serial null modem cable. This example assumes the first serial port (i.e. uart0 or COM1:).
On host you want to login TO:
Edit /etc/ttys to add the following:
[code]ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on insecure[/code]
Then run “kill -HUP 1” as root.
On host you want to login FROM:
Add the following to /etc/remote:
[code]hardwire:dv=/dev/cuau0:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:[/code]
Attempt to connect by running the command:
[code]tip hardwire[/code]
