Thanks, Henk. The main instance I've ever encountered parity other than
N is with DEC systems, either VAX or Alphas. And I was not connecting
to the consoles, which I am in this case. Just worth asking. Seems to
be one of the common fubars with all the "how do I hook up serial" to
any system.
thanks

I am mainly asking if I want to hook up a
terminal, can I get it
going with TD, RD and GND (or 2 3 7 on a DB25), or do I need
to loop back any of the other pins. Also I will have to figure out
the serial settings, as Dec was fond of even parity, and so forth.
As far as my limited PDP-11 knowledge goes, none of them used
handshake. So, Rxd, TxD and GND is all you need to connect.
Also, common (?) is *no* parity.
