ADDS 1010 terminal installation in Debian 2.1



I am trying to connect a terminal to my PC running Debian 2.1.

I added the following line to my /etc/inittab file:

<T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 viewpoint3a+>

My terminal is in the Adds viewpoint 3a+ personality, set for FDX, set for
9600 baud, connected to the PC using a standard modem cable.

After I added the line in /etc/inittab I saved and exited and issued the
command <init q>, no error messages resulted, but no login prompt on
terminal either.

Do I have to edit more files in order to get a login prompt on the
terminal?  Will a standard modem cable work?
