"man agetty":-) The terminal line shall have no /dev/ prefix.
"/sbin/agetty -L -T vt100 -n ttyS0 9600 ttyS0" works fine to me.

Yes, I did, as described below, when running terminal emulator on both
sides characters typed on one side are displayed on the other.

Did you try to check the communication with Hyperterminal on NT side?

Really nobody knows how to connect serial terminal into cygwin?

Hi all,
I want to use old PC with DOS as a terminal connected via serial null
modem cable to Win2K machine with cygwin. But when I launch agetty in
Cygwin and terminal emulator on DOS box I don't see anything in the
terminal and agetty quits after short while being completely silent. I
don't know what to do since there is no indication of problem, just
nothing happens.
I tried following agetty configurations.
/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS0 9600
/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS0 9600
/sbin/agetty -L /dev/ttyS0 9600
/sbin/agetty -L -T vt100 /dev/ttyS0 9600
/sbin/agetty -L -T vt100 -8 -1 -N /dev/ttyS0 9600
COM1 port in both WIN and DOS box is set to 8N1 9600, when running
terminal emulators on both ends (Hyperterminal on Win and comit on
DOS)
letters go through, so wiring is OK.
Configuration listing is attached.
