Yes, you can play around for it. But I think mostly is the baud rate need to be adjusted. Try 9600 first.

Wow. A real VT100? My oldest terminal is a
VT220, and that was made "19-OCT-84". I
haven't seen a working VT100 in years.

Other questions remain unanswered.

_Whose_ "tty services"? What "issue"? You
don't seem to know where the problem is yet.

Steven,

The problem Description is here:

Can connect to the console via serial port -able to see console messages in there.but could not type anything there - for example Ctrl B should take us to MP - which is not as we could not type anything -

So now tell me the solution

[navin]

ok all - server reboot - fixed the issue -

thanks anyway for all of you

Yes, but I was looking for a _useful_ problem
description. "I can't do something" is not
a useful problem description. It does not
say what you did, and it does not say what
happened when you did it.

"[...] could not type anything there [...]"
could mean almost anything, which is why I
tried this guess: "Does that mean that you
hit keys, but you don't see your characters
echoed back?". But I never got an answer to
that question (or others).

I'm glad that you got it working (whatever
"it" was) but you might wish to look at:

paying special attention to the "Be precise
and informative about your problem" section.
