Have you set up handshaking correctly, preferably hardware handshaking (and
same on both sides :) ? Also, I don't know for sure if the original printer
cable contains handshaking lines.

I take it that you can't see what you're typing on the terminal? Then you
have to activate echo on the login serial port. I run half a dozen un*x
clones and I don't have the NetBSD available, so I can't tell if it's done
by stty, ttyset or something like that. Check with the man pages.
