I use this shell script to set up one of my DN4000's serial port so I can log
in to it from a terminal emulator program on a PC.  This worked when I had sr10.1,
and it still works with sr10.2.

I've found that going faster than 2400 baud messes up xmodem, which I use for file
transfer. 

#!/com/sh
args >/tmp/siomonit_file "-repeat /dev/sio1 -n siologin1_local  /com/sh -f -c user_data/startup_sio.sh 1"
xdmc "cps /sys/siologin/siomonit -n siomonitor /tmp/siomonit_file"
tctl -line 1 -default -speed 2400 -dcd_enable -insync -nosync
