I am presuming that this is for the vt420 end?
I am currently using a vt320 on my As255 and it has a db25 on it. I haven't
seen a 420 yet so don't konw what connectors it has ...

standard entry. it's commented out in /etc/inittab :)
just after
# Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal)
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
remove the # from the front of the line, and then kill -HUP 1 will restart
init. hist enter a couple of times on your vt teminal and a login should
appear.
