A serial console connects to a serial terminal, not to a TCP stack. You are running programs that expect to make telnet (or ssh, since you mention PuTTY) connections over TCP/IP, not ones that expect to make serial connections (or you are running them in telnet mode, not serial mode).
The terminal program I use, an old one called NetTerm, is able to do both types of connections. What you are looking for is a program that supports olden-days, serial (NOT PPP or SLIP) modem connections, and you want to set it to use the program's "direct" conection option (the exact name will vary, but you don't want it to try to dial using AT commands). That is, you want a Windows analog of Linux's minicom (itself an analog of the DOS Telix). I've actually done this, using minicom on the client, albeit not with LEAF (and not for many years - it goes back to my old days with Slackware).
