2 ways to do it:
FIRST, you need to set the ports up right. Set them up for twoway service,
dialin & dialout. And of course, set the baud rate to MATCH the baud on
the *nix machine. Connect them via null modem cable.
Now to use them you can do 1 of 2 things:
1. Log onto the pm, then use the attach command, e.g. attach s2.
2. Assign a telnet port to EACH s* port in the setup for DEVICE service.
Set s1, for example, so its device service is Telnet and the telnet port
is 2001. Then you can "telnet <ip of pm> 2001" and go DIRECTLY to jail!
I mean home!

Heh, well that is where in.pmd comes in.
