That depends *completely* on the terminal. Several even have both

My standard rule for dealing with an RS232 in-yer-face is to plug it
in without a null modem and see if it works...if it doesn't, then plug
in a null modem.

The problem is
that the IBM 3101 don't establish communication
with the Linux system. The 3101 show one "Line Check 2" message
that talk about the comm.line, I suppose. The cable used is one
normal serial cable.
If by "normal serial cable" you mean a standard port-to-modem cable,
that is most likely your problem. You need to use a null-modem serial
cable with a terminal.
