It's not working. Do you have any suggestions? Is there something else I need to do?
I'd suggest you run Linux on both computers and try out if the serial connection is working using the commands Christian Prochaska recommended. In case you're using USB-to-serial, please make sure you connect the serial connector to the COM port of the destined test machine. Also you should make sure that the BIOS settings of the test machine activate the UART/COM.
