Re: help with seting up a dumb terminal to Linux please

["K.C. Habib" <maestro@WOLFENET.com>]

Hi!  I have Redhat 5, and appreciate your help, since the help from the
Slackware people hasn't helped much simply because of the differences
between the two distributions. What I'm trying to do is to connect
a 286 PC, running only DOS6.2 with my P166 Linux box.  On the DOS side, I
am using Telix for the terminal program.  The serial cable is plugged into
Serial port 1 on that machine.  On my linux machine the serial cable is
plugged into Serial port2.  I am only using the console in Linux, not
Xwindows.  I want to make it so that the Dos box will show the login
prompt, so I can give commands to my Linux box through that computer, and
so that the output for my commands will go to the Dos box.  This is just
like any other dumb terminal situation.  I would prefer doing this at
57600 BPS, but I can be flexible on that.  Could you give me exact
instructions on what to type in what file, so that the Dos box can emulate
the Linux box?  I would really appreciate it.
P.S. I installed the complete Redhat 5 distribution, so i have all of the
files necessary.
Thanks
I'm new at linux so try to be obvious so I'll get it
