I would like to access to other equipment via RS232? In linux it is
easy via minicom or kermit, but in AIX?

Do I have to set something for it in SMIT ??

In AIX it is via the "cu" command.

You'll want to disably getty on the port.

You'll also need to set up the system. For example, I use cu
to let two systems talk to each other via tty0 (for kernel
debugging). You'll want to add a line to /etc/uucp for the
device:

Direct tty0 - 9600 direct

and the command will then be "cu -ml /dev/tty0"

HTH.

I'm sure Gary actually meant edit the file /etc/uucp/Devices,
/etc/uucp is directory.

I usually use tty1 as tty0 we use for console access.
