Is it actually MMJ, with the offset pin, like a DEC serial cable? Or is it
just an RJ connector like a telephone handset?  And is the SDL end the same
type as on an IBM model M keyboard?

I have a VAXmate buried in storage. With enough prodding I could dig it out
and try to determine the pinout of the cable.
