It's in the VMS FAQ.

The MicroVAX DB9 console connector pinout predates the PC-style DB9 pinout,
and uses a then-common (older) standard pinout, and uses the following
EIA-232-standard signals:
1.Protective Ground
2.Transmited Data
3.Received Data
4.Request To Send (RTS)
5.Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
6.Data Set Ready (DSR)
7.Signal Ground
8.Shorted to pin 9 on MicroVAX and VAXstation 2000...
9....series systems, otherwise left floating.
