Well, the comm settings are dipswitches on the DL11-W serial port/line
clock board.
The cable's a null modem. (The PDP11 doesn't use any flow control on it
so it should be something like this: (BTW -- you may just need to
get 6 and 8 to 20 on the PC side if the PDP11 DL doesn't assert DTR.

Anyone have the DL11-W dip switches.
The console usually runs at 1200 Baud (if it had an LA120), 300 baud
if it was an LA36, or 9600 baud for a Video Terminal like a VT100 or
VT52.
