I am trying to setup a terminal on a Macintosh with a Communication program
using the serial printer port going to a modem cable, through a NULL modem,
through a gender changer into the DB-25 port on the back of the Redhat
machine.  I thought that the DB-25 port was tty01h under Linux.  Am I
wrong?  I have tried using mingetty and agetty to monitor the port but
after I run `telinit q`, I get a message saying that my inittab entry for
the mingetty or agetty is respawning to fast and it has been disabled for 5
minutes.  My inittab entry is this...

7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty01h

or

7:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty01h 9600

also, if I do a stty -a </dev/tty01h I get a message saying..

stty: standard input: Not a typewriter

Can someone help me with this.
