Subject: HELP - Need to log in through serial port

My VGA monitor died recently, and the backup CGA card/composite monitor
combo I thought I had doesn't work for DOS or Linux.. (problem with CGA card,
I think).

I do have access to dumb terminals, and I've all the serial cables and null
modem adapters I need... but, how do I set up Linux to accept logins from
the serial port? Preferably something I can type blind... :-) This'll let me
use the PC for some things until I can get enough money for another VGA
monitor.....

Thanks,
Tom C.
