If I understand what you are trying to accomplish with your home computer... You have a unix server. May I ask what version of Unix are you using?
I am extremely familiar with connecting "dumb" terminals to Unix servers as well as PC's using terminal emulation software.
Your serial port speed on your Unix server must match the serial port speed you setup on your Windows PC. Normally 38400 is the max in which you would connect a "dumb" terminal since more than likely you are using a text based application. You must also have "login" running on the Unix serial port.
Give me more info as for the operating system. Also, check to see if you have a file in /etc named inittab and ttytype
send me the contents of these 2 files via email if you wish.
