Yes. You need to make sure that the 4th column says "off" on the 4.10
machine; and make sure that they say "yes" on the 5.3 machine that
you're connecting to. Make sure you do a "kill -HUP 1" on both boxes
so that the system rescans /etc/ttys.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Most machines come with
serial-ports; so yes, you can enable them to accept gettys so that you
can access them remotely by using a serial cable.
Cheers.
