Dear fellows:

How to connect the serial terminal to FreeBSD 2.0.5 rel?

I try to connect my PC( MS-DOS running terminal emulator ) to FreeBSD 2.0.5.
But I can not do it well. 

I make sure that the RS-232 cable is right ( pin 2 switch to pin 3 ), and 
I use the 2S1P ( 2 serial ports COM1:COM2, 1 parallel prot ) interface card.

I edit /etc/ttys file as FreeBSD.faq described, but I fail.

What wrong ?

Sincerely,
Yang Zeng-Yuan
