Default Netra t 1125 Serial Terminal Setup Help

Hello all,

I recently acquired a Netra machine and now I'm trying to get it set up.
The first thing I did was change the jumpers for the serial ports so
that they would operate using RS-232 instead of the default RS-423.
I've connected to the machine using a DB-9 female to DB-25 male null
modem cable. I'm using the terminal program minicom under Linux. I've
set the baud rate to 9600, data bits to 8, stop bits to 1, parity to
none. I've tried both the A and B serial port, but I can't get any
response. I'm totally new at this, so I could be missing something
obvious. Most of the Sun documentation I've come across doesn't say
anything about how to connect a PC to a Netra, so I was wondering if
anyone can offer me some advice or point me to some documentation that
explains how to do this.

Thanks!
