Subject: Using a dumb terminal with Linux

Since my VGA monitor died recently, I've been looking for a way to
use a dumb terminal with linux. Thanks to Thomas Ulich and his help,
I am now able to do just that. Here's how:
  
   vi your /etc/inittab file. Uncomment the line with a /dev/ttys1 in it.
Make sure you are using the correct baud rate and serial port (ttys0 = port 1).
To log in as root from the dumb terminal, add ttys1 to your /etc/securetty
file.

Now. for the plea for help - I've a Regent 20 terminal rather than a VT100
dumb terminal. I don't have the setup info needed for a regent. Does anyone
have a termcap file with a Regent 20 entry in it?

Thanks,
Tom C.
