Use a Serial Console with Mac OS X Leopard

I'm trying to use an old Commodore 128D as a terminal to access OS X's shell via a serial port. I've used 'screen' and 'zterm' to ensure the two machines are successfully interfaced. Instructions for opening up the serial console on other Unix-y operating systems don't work with OS X Leopard. ...

NAME

       ARP - Perl extension for creating ARP packets

SYNOPSIS

	 use Net::ARP;
	 Net::ARP::send_packet('lo',		     # Device
			       '127.0.0.1',	     # Source IP
			       '127.0.0.1',	     # Destination IP
			       'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc',  # Source MAC
			       'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc',  # Destinaton MAC
			       'reply');	     # ARP operation

       $mac = Net::ARP::get_mac("eth0");

       print "$mac
";

       $mac = Net::ARP::arp_lookup($dev,"192.168.1.1");

       print "192.168.1.1 has got mac $mac
";

   IMPORTANT
       Version 1.0 will break with the API of PRE-1.0 versions, because the return value of arp_lookup() and get_mac() will no longer be passed as
       parameter, but returned!  I hope this decision is ok as long as we get a cleaner and more perlish API.

   DESCRIPTION
       This module can be used to create and send ARP packets and to get the mac address of an ethernet interface or ip address.

       send_packet()
	     Net::ARP::send_packet('lo',		 # Device
				   '127.0.0.1', 	 # Source IP
				   '127.0.0.1', 	 # Destination IP
				   'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc',  # Source MAC
				   'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc',  # Destinaton MAC
				   'reply');		 # ARP operation

	     I think this is self documentating.
	     ARP operation can be one of the following values:
	     request, reply, revrequest, revreply, invrequest, invreply.
	     The default ARP operation is reply.

       get_mac()
	     $mac = Net::ARP::get_mac("eth0");

	     This gets the MAC address of the eth0 interface and stores
	     it in the variable $mac. The return value is "unknown" if
	     the mac cannot be looked up.

       arp_lookup()
	     $mac = Net::ARP::arp_lookup($dev,"192.168.1.1");

	     This looks up the MAC address for the ip address 192.168.1.1
	     and stores it in the variable $mac. The return value is
	     "unknown" if the mac cannot be looked up.
