You need to change two things.  First, the CLI expects a "cooked" input device.
The CON: device, which is the default, is cooked.  The "raw" form of the
console device is RAW:, which won't work either.  The SER: device is raw as
well, so you'll need a "cooker" for the serial device - lots of people call
it AUX:.  You'll have to get an AUX handler somewhere first.  (And if you
find one, could you send it to me too?)  Anyway, all that happens when
something gets cooked is it gets line editing features like you get with
the Amiga console device.  The CLI doesn't like backspaces and such in its
input stream, and normally the standard input device should filter those out.

So once you have your AUX: device (or whatever it's called), just use
this:

NewCLI AUX:

This is just off the top of my head, so don't trust me too much. :)  And I
haven't tried it either, since I don't have AUX:, and that's why I want it! :)

That'll put the CLI on the serial port, but then you'll probably get problems
when you try hooking it to a modem.  I have no idea what happens then.
