I'm trying to hook my PC running Windows95 to the other PC running LINUX by
a null modem cable.  I have read the Serial-HOWTO, and I think I have done
all I have to do.  However, I have never been able to get "login: " prompt
on my Win95 machine.  Can anyone help me?  Please advice by e-mail to me.  

I describe my setup as follows:

CONNECTION OF TO PCs ###############

by a cable connected to Win95 COM2 and LINUX COM1.  I believe my cable is a
null modem cable because I used to use it to connect two MS-DOS PCs by
interlnk.exe and intersvr.exe to send/receive files.

My Linux machine is Compaq Presario CDS924, and it used to have a DOS
version of BIOS setup program that turn on/off serial ports, but when I
deleted DOS and installed LINUX, I deleted that BIOS setup program
partition also.  Therefore I am not sure whether the COM1 is enabled or
not.  HOW DO I KNOW MY COM1 ON LINUX IS ENABLED??

LINUX MACHINE ##############

I edited /etc/gettydefs to add:

# 9600 bps Dumb Terminal entry
DT9600# B9600 CS8 CLOCAL # B9600 SANE -ISTRIP CLOCAL #@S @L login: #DT9600

and, I looked at there is no /etc/default/uugetty.ttyS0 or no
/etcconf.uugetty.ttyS0

Then I edited /etc/inittab to add:

S0:123456:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 DT9600 vt100

and, did "init q" on my Linux.

WINDOWS95 MACHINE ################

Tried Hyper Terminal that came with Windows95 with property setting:

Connection: direct to Com 2, 9600bps, 8 databit, non parity, 1 stop bit,
hardware flow control.

VT100 emulation with ASCII character code set, local echo enabled
