Hi there,
I found through trial and error that I could not do a serial login from ttys1 and with ttyS1, it comes up with the login prompt and will only accept the login name before freezing the port. Lastly, I tried using cua1 and that has worked perfectly. I am using Linux SLS distribution 1.02 as well.
Just my 2 cents worth.
