Connect to switch via serial connection

D

I have never tried this and google hasn't yielded any decent results, I'm quite sure its just my search terms, but I need to connect to a switch via a serial connection (null modem cable) but so far I can't figure out how to use the serial connection with telnet, can someone point me in the directioN?

Thanks.
 
I prefer to use the sysutils/screen port with my USB to Serial adapter like this:

screen /dev/cuaU0 9600

You'll need to know the device name of the serial port you want to use -- if it is a regular old serial port (not USB to Serial adapter) check look for a device like /dev/cuau0.
