I uncommented the line in /hosts/inittab (s1) and changed speed from 19200 
to 115200, then rebooted.  I am trying first to get this working with two 
linux computers.   I have no idea what to do next for the dumb terminal 
method.  (I am also dumb).  I don't have any terminal program other than 
kermit.  I could set line /dev/ttyS0 but then I got a blank area with 
nothing happening.

So I copied in.telnet.d to /usr/sbin, on both computers.
I typed in.telnetd -debug on the first computer and got
a blinking cursor.
I typed telnet 192.168.1.1 (or clark) on the second computer
and was asked to login.

I was not allowed to login as root.
I logged in as user (no password required).
I could use sc and lynx.  I could not use pico and save the file.

I need to create some file somewhere so I can login as root, I presume.
And maybe also give user permission to save files.

Then I dialed and telnetted here with clark and now I cannot telnet here 
from the other computer any more.  Connection refused.

I have not tried file transfer yet.  Kermit ought to work, I think.
Have to go back off line again first.
