[ale] telneting via the com ports.

[mfrancis at engr.csulb.edu (Mofid Francis)]

I am not sure if this question was asked before, I have redhat 4.0 kernel
2.0.13 running.  I want to be able to connect this box through com port 1
(/dev/ttyS0).  how do i start a login process that will run on com port 1.  
I did a "ps -uax" and no gpm on com 1(mouse).  

Also the com port 1 is 9 pins so can I make a cable, if so any info would
help. 

thanks
moe
