Thanks very much for your detailed answer. Really appreciate that. I now
see output through ssh. Unfortunately, it looks like the following:
s!!eBwRs!ow1u))BwRs!GDbu1'wd
tGsO)
g$
I tried reducing the baud rate to 9600 but then the output looked like
the following
```````````````````````````````
So then I tried each of the settings under the "Failsafe Baud Rate"
setting (57600, 19200) and those did not work either.
Is there something I should do in /etc/ttys ?
Thanks again,
Vijay
