Look in /etc/rc.tcp (I think that's the file). It sets everything up,
and you just need to fill in the datafiles it wants.

Use telnet? Do you just want to log onto the mac, or do you want to
run slip/ppp over the serial line? To just log in, turn on the getty
in /etc/ttys for the port you hook up.
Setting ppp up would be a bit more complicated.
Take care,
