Hooking Up an Old Serial Terminal on NetBSD — I recently got an old Wyse WY-55 terminal hooked up to my NetBSD machine using a USB serial adapter, and I documented the process. I had never set up a "dumb" terminal before so it was a learning experience. Turns out, once I figured out what I was doing, getting NetBSD to communicate with the terminal amounted to adding one line to a text file. Hooray for man pages and text-based configuration!
