I've used several 3100-10's (same model number), and the console port

I had a
couple of VS2000 (Same box, with graohics) and routinely used
a nearly-standard PC-type RS-232 null modem cable. You have to short
two pins at the VAX side, but I do not remember which two. I found the
pinouts in some FAQ or other online.
The OpenVMS FAQ has the pinouts, IIRC.
Also, remember that on all the desktop VAXen
I've run, the *printer*
port is the console. Zane, Eric, is that absolute or no?
That actually depends on the system.
