Ken:
  Just how do you go about setting up this particular hardware config?
My SA's have never done this to date and are unfamiliar with the particulars.
Could you give more consice instructions.
  Our hardware config. is a SUN IPX which is a client in a client
server network. And we are running SUN-OS 4.1.2, preferably running under
OpenWin 3 .

Thank You

concise:

hook up terminal; edit ttytab; restart init

or precise?

1. hook a cable from the terminal to the ipx (say serial port A).
   if the serial port is not an rs232, your workstation should have
   come with an adaptor

2. as root, edit /dev/ttytab and turn on ttya

   ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown on local

3. as root, 'kill -1 1' (this simply restarts the init process)

Our hardware config. is a SUN IPX which is a client in a client
server network. And we are running SUN-OS 4.1.2, preferably running under
