I think that should be 'getty ttyS1 9600 vt100'
To make it start on boot up, try adding the line to /etc/inittab in the
appropriate format. I have my (non-talking) terminal set up as follows in
/etc/inittab:
T1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L -w ttyS1 19200 vt220
Have a look at 'man getty' and 'man inittab' for more info.
Your friend could use:
T1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 9600 vt100
