I never managed to get any serial terminal running, but I am on KVM/QEMU 
under Ubuntu - I don't know anything about Proxmox.

I got a PuTTy instance running on the host, then issued:
$ virsh console <VM_name>

That works well as a console.

When DECNET, TCP and SSH installed - my network is bridged to the host's 
second NIC, I has no problem using ssh from my Windoze workstation
