If all you want to do is log in, there's a far easier way: just put a 
getty on the serial port.  To do this, modify /etc/inittab.  Your 
current one probably includes an example; if not, I can post one.

To run PPP across it (if you want to get IP connectivity going), you'll 
do the above, then set up ppp to log in as a user and run "pppd" (you 
may wish to make a special user with pppd as their shell).
