Uh, using telnet? Via SLIP (internet protocol over serial)? Or do you just mean as
a dumb terminal?

If as a dumb terminal, for the server, look at /etc/inittab, there should be
something you can comment out about tty on the serial port. For the client, just use
minicom and it should work.
Speaking of which, I can't get a modem dialin to work using those commented lines in
initttab. Any ideas? It's an internal Rockwell modem, I can dial out with it, but
the modem doesn't answer. This is on potato, and the inittab line is:
T0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 115200 ttyS0
If SLIP, sorry, I can't help.

And also with you. :-)
BTW, you should use tzconfig (I think that's the Slink command, maybe it's timezones)
to set your timezone.
Thanks for any help on the modem question,
