How to setup Puppy Linux to work on a dumb terminal ?

I have a nice hand held terminal that communicates through an RS-323 port and I would like to set Puppy Linux to work with this terminal.

What do I need to do to configure Puppy Linux to communicate with a dumb terminal ?

I remastered the cd and got as far as the following screen :

Setting up network interfaces...
Executing personal config script /etc/rc.d/rc.local done
