You have to enable a getty on the port before you can log in on it.
Edit /etc/ttys, adding if needed a tty00 line. There are numerous
examples in the file - it should be pretty easy to figure out what
to add or change. Then you need to tell 'init' about the change
by doing a "kill -HUP 1".
NOTE: ports are NOT bidirectional - if you're going to enable logins
on a line you won't be able to kermit _out_. And vice versa, if you're
going to kermit out you'll need to disable logins on that line. Yes
it'd be nice to have bidirectional ports - but someone keeps stealing
my copious supply of free time ;-)
