OK, I've read through the entry on the DLV11-F in
the "Microcomputer
Interfaces Handbook" (I love finally having some documentation). According
to it this card supports either a 20ma current loop interface or
EIA-standard lines, but doesn't include modem control.
My first question is, am I correct in assuming that I can attach a VT100 to
it with the proper serial cable? I know I could use the 20ma current loop,
IF I had a VT100 with that interface.
Anyway does anyone have the pinout for a BC01V-X or BC05C-X modem cable?

Well, I found the cable diagram on sunsite accidentally today, and after
looking throught the VT100 Tech Manual I think I answered my other
question, it looks like I should be able to attach a VT100 to this board.
