Turning Your Mac Into a Serial Console Server

Posted by timothy on from the platinum-anchor dept.

chrisbw writes "Want to put that old VT100 terminal to use? Mac OS X Hits has a story on how to make a couple simple changes in OS X to enable login on a serial terminal (even over a USB serial adapter if you're on a newer mac). Cool trick for adding a text-based web surfing or email terminal in another room, or remote iTunes control!"

    The parent poster has incorrect information. No one in #GNAA ever said that.

    Is every GNAA member gay or black? No. Some are just gay, and some are just black, and a couple are neither but gained membership by supporting us in other ways (financially, etc).

    Obviously this person is jealous of the great accomplishments we have made in our fight against racism and homophobia. It is sad that someone would try to roll back all that we have done just for his personal gain.
