Thank you all for your replys. My answers are inline:

yes. It should be running. We have in /etc/ttys (openbsd)
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure

I got this null modem from circuit city. it worked in other
circumstances when I do serial debugging on other boxes.

I tried this and still no login prompt.
One thing I've noticed on the FreeBSD (5.4 RELEASE) dmesg is
sio0: port may not be enabled
I enabled the first serial port in the BIOS, but I still get this.
Me scratching head now. Anything else I may be missing?
