Do you mean dumb termainal? If so you will need a null modem cable connected to your serial port and edit /etc/inittab to include a line which looks like: s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 Then hook up either something like a wyse terminal (which I have done at home, more just to see if I could get it going but have found it useful enough to keep it attached) or run a program like minicom or hyperterminal (for windoze).

of course, asim could be referring to a "teminal emulator" http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO-9.html minicom was my favorite
In this case, setting up a getty would not be appropriate.
or,...... who knows?
