How to console to a cisco with a linux box?

[admin_2]

I need to console to a 2600 with a rollover and db9. I am running linux and don't have hyperterm. Can anyone explain what program I need, where to get it, and how to configure it?

you need a free program like kermit, then you enter the following command

set line /dev/ttyS0

set speed 9600

set stop-bits 1

set parity none

set flow-control none

set carrier-watch off

connect
