What device are you connecting to?  I can't tell if you're having
problems in getting a working serial connection or problems in setting
up a *getty to listen to login requests on the other end.

I use kermit to talk to my sparc from an x86 linux box.  The following
.kermrc sets up the serial port and connects me automatically to the
sparc's console:

set line /dev/ttyS0
set sp 9600
set carrier-watch off
set terminal autodownload off
c
