To telnet over a serial nullmodem cable see:

See also Steven's response with corrections.

Edit /etc/inittab on the computer to which you telnet.  Use microcom or 
any other terminal program (minicom, kermit) on the computer from which 
you telnet.  Run in.telnetd on the computer to which you telnet (from 
tcpip1.tgz).

I think I telnetted from BL3 to BL2 this way and I logged in as root.

Steven, why do we need the password package to telnet?

There was also another method for setting up a serial network with pppd or 
something.
