I forwarded this off to one of our local discussion groups and received
this response -
Damian,
This works for me:
# gettys for serial ports
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt102
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS1 vt102
There may be more to it than that, but I thought I'd forward this bit
first.

Does anyone know how to set up a serial terminal using getty? I'm trying
to get set up so that I can use my laptop to log into my desktop....
I am using ttyS1 on the desktop, and ttyS0 on the laptop, and nothing I
do seems to get me anything more than random characters on the line...
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty7
8:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty8
9:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -h ttyS1 DT19200
And this is the relevant line from /etc/gettydefs:
# 19200 fixed baud Dumb Terminal entry
DT19200# B19200 CS8 CLOCAL # B19200 SANE -ISTRIP CLOCAL #@S login:
#DT19200
On the laptop, I am running tomsrtbt installed to HD, with a term
program called miterm. And I do have serial terminal support compiled
into my kernel (desktop).
Any advice appreciated,
