adding a PC as a TTY

[Corey Wirun]

Is there something I'm missing here.....

I want to hang a PS/2 serially off my RS/6000-520 (3003 code). I 'made'
a null modem cable by takinga regular modem cable and switching just
pins #2-3 (i.e. 2->3, 3->2). I def'd a tty at 9600 baud and set it to
enable logins. When I try to get onto the RS on the PC using kermit, I
can't for the life of me get a login banner. There is a getty running
on the RS, but it has a '?' on it for the tty under 'ps -e'. 

I'm also using IBM's patch for RTS/CTS flow control on the serial port
of the RS.

I'm able to exchange characters when running kermit on both machines, but
not able to get a login from the PC. Is it the cable? I've rebooted after
the TTY setup to no avail. It seems that there was some discussion around
setting up TTY's before.....

Thanks!
