See if this helps.

You could google 'null modem cable connection linux to windows' (as I just did).

Some more info on Windows version, Linux utilities tried, error messages encountered is always helpful. Do yourself a favor and get out of RH 8.0 and burn the Fedora Core 4 CD's, night and day difference.
