Much of the section "Physical Connection" is from Serial-HOWTO v. 1.11 (1997) by Greg Hankins (with his permission). His "How Do I Set Up A Terminal Connected To My PC?" was incorporated into v1.00 at various places. v1.09 has about 25 changes (and error corrections) suggested by Alessandro Rubini who reviewed this HOWTO. Jeremy Jon Spykerman told me about using a keyboardless terminal as a console for a monitorless PC (using ttysnoop). In 2001 (v1.26) I fixed about 25 typos, etc. found by Alain Cochard:
