I popped the small DB-25 plug out of the back, drilled it to take a cable,
and soldered RS-232 wires to the EMI inductors just behind the DB-25 blank
plug.
An ohm meter will quickly show you the right points, remeber to use the
rear-side of the inductors for soldering to to preserve their EMI
function.
You'll also need to tie a jumper from the RX- inductor to TX ground, which
is available on the handy test point comming up from the PCB. The whole
mod can be made without taking the PCB out of the terminal.

Speaking of the VT-320...does anyone have one
of the adapters
for the 320 that go from the 6-pin DEC-423 port to a 25-pin RS232
connector? I've got a VT-320 but can't use it due to lacking the
connector.
Thanks and take care
