Console between two E450s

Hi folks.

I am trying to ssh into one E450, and go out of it's serial port, and into
the serial console of the other. I have a null modem cable running between the
machines (plugged into the A/B port on each). What happens, though, when I run
tip? Not much. From what I understand, running "tip hardwire" should make the
connection (and it does indeed say "connected") but I do not get a login prompt
on the second machine.

What confuses me slightly is the dual-purpose A/B serial port. Am I supposed to
be using the port labeled "//" instead?

I'm sure I'm missing some simple detail... getting console from a PC is pretty
simple. Why isn't this working, though?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
