Bill,
Your last line speaking of CTS-RTS ,DTR, DSR, and DCD..... is that what
the null modem cable does, or is that in addition to the null cable?

One thing -- I don't know about the 11/53 -- but
most DEC DL11-W console
serial ports don't give you the modem control signals you need for
the PC (CTS<->RTS) (DTR->DSR-DCD).
You probably need a null modem cable or adapter with CTS-RTS jumpered
at the PC and DTR going to DSR and DCD (both ways).
