Okay, that whole thing with the networking and all just confused everybody. Let me make this a bit more simple to understand. From the top: I have a server that is running Red Hat Linux 8.0. The server has two serial connection ports. The server does not have any other software specific to Wyse terminals. Only the standard stuff that comes with the distro is installed. I have one terminal that has been connected to the serial port via the serial port on the terminal. Now when I turn on the terminal and boot up the server all that happens is that random symbols and such appear on the terminal. I have tried messing with VT types and getty. I do not know much about these dumb terminals, but always thought that TERM, and getty would detect that it was a tty connection and just send the login prompt. The terminals are Wyse wy-60s located here:

Hope this helps some, and thanks for your time!

iscc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual iscc(7)
NAME
iscc - serial communications interface
SYNOPSIS
controller iscc0 at isa0
DESCRIPTION
An onboard Zilog 8530 DUART provides AXPvme-based Single Board Computers with console (CON) and auxiliary (AUX) serial communications
ports. Both serial communications ports can operate at baud rates from B50 to B38400, excluding B134 (see tty(7)).
On AXPvme Single Board Computers configured with a graphics head as the system console, the CON serial communications port (/dev/tty01) is
available for use by application programs as an additional communications port.
In the absence of a graphics head, the CON serial communications port (/dev/console) becomes the system console. When used as the serial
system console, the CON serial communications port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, and no parity.
Regardless of system console, the AUX serial communications port (/dev/tty00) is always available for use by application programs.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the CON serial communications port must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity when configured as
the serial system console. The iscc terminal driver enforces this restriction.
No modem control is supported for either the CON or AUX serial communications ports.
FILES
console terminal local terminal local terminal
