I agree ... thanks ... that's the difference between the Netra t1125
and a normal Ultra 60.

I've tested the null-modem-connection from the Ultra 10 to another Ultra 2.
It works fine with the standard settings ... the same settings like in the
service maunal of the Netra t1125.

I'm thinking, that someone had changed the tty-settings for a PC-Connection
... or maybe a KVM-Connection ... but how find out these ?

As I remember on older Ultra's the "stop+n" on PowerUp restore the default
settings ... but this doesn't work on this Netra.

I'm wondering, that the keyboard-leds don't flash (selftest-diag) during
startup, but I could powerup the Netra via keyboard.

Did you agree, that the last way will be replacing the NVRAM ?
