With the latest VirtualBox it is possible to set a tcp serial.I have set port 2231 and with telnet localhost 2231,the login prompt appears on my old Unix system.The problems are:passwords are seen in clear text, andif I press the directional keys (up down left right) I see on the consolegiuseppe@att1:/home/giuseppe$ ^[[C^[[D^CWith an old version of minicom this does not appear.Is there something to set with telnet?
Virtualbox and telnet
virtualbox;serial port;telnet;serial console
serial ports don't support the telnet TCP protocol, telnet is falling back to linemode,you need to disable telnet linemode so that it will use character mode.type ctrl-]mode characterenter and then log in.
