serial port. The software I use (which I'm sure I linked; if not find
it here:

run on my Windows XP Pro SP3 system; it's also been tested under
Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server Standard by me), with the
oversized images.
The PC side of the cable is a nine-pin serial port, while the PDP-11
side is the 10-pin cable. The cable I use, has one side as the DLVJ1
connection (10-pin IDC, tab scraped off) and he other side as a DE9M
D-sub connector (i.e. the "PC serial port" connector, wired as a DTE).
The conenction between the systems is then made with a standard serial
null modem cable (I had a couple so I just used a that). (Plus wiring
the serial port on the '11 side of things as a DTE is the correct
way.)
Since serial ports are not many new machines,have you tried
it with a USB serial converter?
