Hmm. Interestingly enough I just searched through both the 11/93 and 
11/94 manuals, which I referred to before, and neither actually seems to 
have the pinouts for the serial ports. Oh well.

The console is on a DB25, with a very standard RS-232. I hope everyone 
can manage to get that one right.

For the DE9 connectors, they actually also follow the RS-232 standard. 
For a connector without the modem control, all pins are in the first 9 
anyway, so no problem. If you want full modem control, there is one 
signal - DCD I think, which is on pin 20 in the RS-232 spec. On the DEC 
DE9, I think that one was moved to pin 8. But someone should check that 
out, in case they actually want full modem control.
