So I connected cable aaaand I think it doesn't work. I never really used serial port in Linux before. I tried to connect using minicom but no luck. I got random characters. Then I tried to connect using picocom. The same:

On networking laboratories at uni we just typed minicom and it connected automatically to Cisco router so I'm a bit confused :C
Also I'm not entirely absolutely sure if it's null-modem cable but I guess it is.
