3.2.3 Setting up serial protocols

Here, I'll tell you how to set up NetBSD for dial-out, either on directly connected machines or via modem.

Any hints for how to setup dial-in welcome (sliplogin, pppd, ...)!

Before you start setting up anything, be sure to kill any getty running on the terminal-line you're about to use first:

1. comment out the line starting with `/dev/tty00' (or `/dev/ttyA*', or whatever) in `/etc/ttys'
2. Get the kernel to read the new `/etc/ttys': kill -HUP 1
3. Kill any still-running gettys: kill -9 `ps -aux | grep gett[y] | awk '{ print $2; }'`
