On a client running Solaris OS, type:
$tip -9600 /dev/ttya
On a client running Windows, start a program such as Hyperterminal.
On a client running Linux, start a program such as Minicom, a text-based serial
communication program that is included in the Linux distributions. For more
information, see the man pages included in the Linux distribution.

login: root
password: changeme
