I use a ADDS ViewPoint terminal in exactly this fashion.  I had to
jumper pins 4&5 and 6&20 together on the cable in order to get
DOS to want to talk.  I now use the terminal in my TV room for
movietime computing and it works at 9600 baud.  In addition to
jumping those pins, I use the command
	mode com1:9600,e,7,1
before issuing the ctty aux command.
