Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to connect my Mac Titanium to a cisco via
console cable, and of course it's not nearly primitive enough for such
useful tasks. I've discarded the idea of carrying a VT220 around on my
back, and googled around and found this:
http://macosx.forked.net/bbarchive/forum3/000029.html
So I got me a Keyspan USB to serial converter, and followed the
instructions, and I get the following:
[console:/etc] brni# /usr/local/bin/console routera
console: console: access from your host refused
When I run conserver with the -D flag, I get this as the apparently
relevant messages:
[Tue Mar 11 21:07:51 2003] conserver (541): DEBUG: AccType():

and the "routera" log says:

[and so on]
Anyone have any clues on how to make it run happily?
