My currently setting for serial port is:
Serial Device : /dev/ttyS1
Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1
Hardware Flow Control : No
Software Flow Control : No
and I use Prolific PL2303 USB adapter for connection, and here is
the last couple line from dmesg output:

Linux flee-hp-pc.homelinux.net 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Thu Feb 11 07:05:37 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have also tried different kind of calbes (straight through, roll-over),
also on device, I have tried /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyS2, ...,
but still received the same error messages.
After I search some other forum, I found out my problem is caused by:
1. because I use USB converter, so on Serial Device need to specify: /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of /dev/ttyS0
2. for Cisco Catalyst 2950 it needs a roll-over cable connection
3. Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1
After that, my connection is up and running, so please close my case.
