What we have got here is a dumb terminal with serial port and there is a cable going from this serial port all over to the server to the Specialix card. That side of the cable is with RJ45 jack. One of the dumb terminals is connecting through modem on a leased 9600bps line. You have to just switch over the dumb terminal to connect to the server. No need of any software such as minicom etc., since it is a leased line. No idea on using minicom etc. to connect using such setup. You cant try that and let the list know.
