To get mine working, I had to instruct getty not to die if it didn't see
the Carrier-Detect/DSR/CTS set. Otherwise, it wigged if the cable wasn't
hooked up. Getty would respawn faster than a rabbit on hormones and init
would have to chill it out for 5 minutes.
The inittab line that worked was:
S1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L -h 38400,19200,9600 ttyS1

Every document I've read recently that seems to know what it's talking
about says to use tty exclusively.
