You put the first line in /etc/inittab in order to make
a connection via minicom to a remote system (a cisco) ?

I'm afraid you're confusing some things

The line T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 in
/etc/inittab is to allow a terminal (a real one or another
PC running minicom) to log into your machine over the
serial console.

You don't want that line in /etc/inittab if you're going
to run minicom to connect to a cisco on /dev/ttyS0.
