General :: Connecting To A Serial /dev/ttyS2 Connection?

I have a Cisco Switch that is connected to my computer via serial. I simply want to configure the switch via the serial connection from within a terminal. I edited the /etc/inittab to include agetty for ttyS2 and ttyS3. The switch is hooked up to one of the two.

I ran

Code:

init q

to re-read the inittab

Ran a

Code:

ps -ef

and I can see the two agettys I also have run a dmesg to confirm that my computer has detected ttyS terminals. The requirements for the cisco switch connection are the following:

8 data bits
no parity
1 stop bit

[code]....

How do I connect to /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS3?

I've tried

Code:

agetty -8 115200 ttyS2 vt100

but it just hangs.
