Still no luck, I've tried 

cu -l /dev/dty00 -s 9600 and cu -l /dev/dty01 -s 9600

When it says connected, I type ~# but nothing happens.

The i386 machine has two DB9 ports, labled 1 and 2

The sparc64 machine is Ultra 10 with DB25 port labled A, and DB9 port labled B

The serial cable I used has on one end DB9 connector and on the other end DB25 
connector + null modem adapter.

I plug DB9 connector into DB9 port labled 1 on i386, and DB25 connector (with 
null modem adapter) into DB25 port on sparc64. I'm trying to connect from i386 
to sparc64 via serial console.

I remember this used to work before. Is there anything else that I need to set 
up for serial console between two machines?
