Solaris 10 installation with braille display

[tim.pennick at bt.com]

Sorry,

I've no experience of Solaris on X86 processors/architecture so I can't really help any further.  I used to run a terminal emulator on the Windows machine (Kermit or Reflections, or some other software which allows you to make your PC look like a serial VT100 style terminal.  On a SPARC based work station/server, if there was no keyboard/monitor attached, it would look for I/O on its serial port with no further configuration, but I have no idea how you 'd do this on an X86 machine.

Regards,

Tim

Hi,

The machine on which I'm going to install Solaris has an x86-based 
processor.

What should I do to get this working? Probably I've to connect the two 
machines together with a null modem cable, right? Do I have to perform other 
tasks on the Windows machine so that the connection starts up? How about the 
machine on which I'm installing Solaris? What do I need to do?

Do you mean the Windows machine?
