        Got the exactly the same trouble! Now it's working
        here is the "my" recipe:
        0) Be sur to have 0.99-Pl5
        1) recompile agetty.c (getty) from poeigl-1.9a
        2) Modify /etc/inittab
           c6:456:respawn:/bin/getty -h 19200 cua0 (or cua1, etc..)
        et voila! :-}}}

        More seriously:
        It's working for me, but I am worry about serial driver
        robustness and found "bizarre" to ignore such important
        signal (as CD) to "pilot" the driver (I am investigating
        about strange interaction between "Linux" and "Taylor-uucp".

A bientot
