<answer>
<para>If you are using another computer as a terminal into your
FreeBSD system, get a null-modem cable to go between the two
serial ports. If you are using an actual terminal, see its
accompanying instructions.</para>
<para>Then, modify <filename>/etc/ttys</filename> (see
&man.ttys.5;), like above. For example, if you are
hooking up a WYSE-50 terminal to the fifth serial port,
use an entry like this:</para>
<programlisting>ttyd4 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" wyse50 on secure</programlisting>
<para>This example shows that the port on
<devicename>/dev/ttyd4</devicename> has a wyse50 terminal
connected at 38400 bps with no parity
(<literal>std.38400</literal> from
<filename>/etc/gettytab</filename>, see &man.gettytab.5;)
and <username>root</username> logins are allowed
(<literal>secure</literal>).</para>
<para>You can find this information in the <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/term.html">Terminals</ulink>
section of the &os; Handbook.</para>
