Subject:   FreeBSD as a serial terminal?

I have an Ethernet switch, which has to be configured via a serial
connection.
I connect the Ethernet to the serial mouse port (isa1?).
Then, the big problem:

How do I communicate with the Ethernet switch from my FreeBSD box?
How do I start a terminal emulation?
Where do I configure for:
9600 baud
8 data bits
1 stop pit
no parity
no flow control
?

I'm quite a newbie both to FreeBSD and to Ethernet switches, if you
didn't already get that. :)

Thanks for any suggestions!
