Hi Wynke!
First of all, you need to make sure that a "login prompt" is given to the
serialport you wish to use on the Linux box. You can configure this in
/etc/inittab, just uncomment line 62 and change
it to:
s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L BAUDSPEED ttySX vt100
Offcourse change baudspeed and ttysX to the baudrate and serialport you wish
to use. Then just connect the serialports together with a serial cable, and
load a terminal program on your MSX, and voila!
