Serial access to a Extreme Nwtworks Switch

[Sam Fourman Jr.]

hello,

 I am Running FreeBSD 7.0, I am trying to gain console access to my
Extreme Networks Switch, the command cu -l /dev/cuad0 -s 9600 , Says
Connected and then does nothing.... What am I doing Wrong?
I have a Straight through serial cable connected to com1, Does someone
know a quick way to do this From FreeBSD?

the machine is a Dell 1650 if that matters


Thank you in advance for any help
