Some asked to see if I was using the right cable. I checked the cable and the DB25s on other machines and they were just fine, so I ruled those out. Others suggested checking the eeprom settings via the eeprom command. Those were fine. Still others said the check the /etc/remote file. It was set to the default.
Well, the one who hit the nail on the head was Darren Dunham. He said "A isn't using the serial port as a console (It wasn't booted with a keyboard attached, was it?)". Well, at first I didn't look at that because the machine doesn't have a any video capabilities. Upon closer inspection, I found that there was a keyboard attached, but still no monitor. Weird. This machine had been up for a long time, booted before I started working here. Well, I now have a terminal again! Thanks for all the help!
