My experience with null modem cables and serials ports has taught me that cat is not a good way to test if the ports are working as expected. I suggest firing up minicom or seyon (they both suck, sorry!) on both machines, make sure they are set to the same settings (8n1, 115200, etc) and _THEN_ try the connection. The ports require ioctls to set them up properly before you can use something as simple as cat. Using setserial to do this is IMHO more confusing than just using minicom.
