xterm console?

I have a DEC alpha I'd like to connect an xterm to the com port for a console.
Easy I thought... it works on most of our other systems.

/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100 is running

and the xterm is configured/cabled correctly since the same one works on
other systems.
I'm trying to connect it to com1 since com2 is used for a modem.

Any suggestions on why it may not be responding as a console?

Thanks!
Dan
