All you really need to know is the name of the device. On the Cyclades card, it's /dev/ttyC0..ttyC7 in the case of my 8-port card. A standard serial port would be /dev/ttyS0 (equivalent to COM1: in DOS). Add an entry to /etc/inittab for each terminal device, run "init q", and you're basically done. Depending on what card you have and how the terminals are wired up, you may have to deal with issues like hardware flow control. The getty man page can help with that. In general it shouldn't be a problem to run terminals without hardware flow control. What kind of terminals are you using, by the way? I assume you have something standard like a VT100 clone.
