tlug: serial connection with laptop

["Eric Standlee" <e-w.standlee@example.com>]

I have tried to figure this one out on my own too, but how do you (or can
you) connect a laptop via serial port.  I know that just because it is a
laptop doesn't make much of a difference.

I suppose that in theory I could connect via nullmodem (what is that?) and
use slip/mgetty????

TIA,
