I don't see any way to tell telnetd to only use the serial port. I think telnetd
 likes psuedo ttys .

I was reading the freebsd handbook and there is a sentence about if the password
 is being displayed when typed.
------------------------------------------------------
Linkname: Chapter 29. Serial Communications | FreeBSD Documentation Portal
URL: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/serialcomms/

29.3.2. Troubleshooting the Connection
....
....
If characters appear doubled and the password appears when typed, switch the ter
minal, or the terminal emulation software, from "half duplex" or "local echo" to
 "full duplex."
--------------------------------------------------------

I'll have to keep research and trying. Some stuff I just don't understand yet wh
en it comes to serial comms.
