John,
Yes, the terminal is set up exactly the way the MicroVAX 3100 manual said to
set it up, 9600, 8-n-1, I believe.. I can hear the disk spin up. I can
hammer away on the keyboard all I want and the terminal never reads more
than that gibberish...

This suggests that the clock circuit on the UART is scrod or that the
RS-232 drivers have been damaged (can happen due to a spike). You're only
choice is to hook up a scope and have a look at the pins to see what kind
of signal is coming off the unit.
Also check that the 3100 isn't wired for 220 and running off 110.
