I need to be able to login to my Linux web server, via a communications
server (Portmaster). The communications server will be connected to web
server with a serial cable.
I've connected my PC to my web server's serial port (COM1) and (COM2) with
a cross cable and tried to login with Tera Term.
don't think you need to recompile the kernel
what did you do to try to connect?
take a look at /etc/inittab if you haven't already it shows some
examples for setting up a console on a serial port. make sure its the
right kind of cable too, you mentioned using a cross cable ?? shouldn't
it be

I guess you can use SLIP or also PPP for this.

No need to recompile the kernel. Your kernel should either have serial port
support
compiled in or in a module. On your server try 'cat /dev/ttyS0' If you get an
error:
cat: /dev/ttyS0: No such device
Then your kernel doens't have support. Otherwise it does. Now you just need to
run a
getty
type dmesg | more and you should be able to see if serial ports are
available to you. You have to uncomment one of the terminal lines in
/etc/inittab. The connect speed on your terminal (or PC pretending to be
one) must be the same. The text-terminal howto http://www.linuxdoc.org
