  I don't have the box with the three MMJ connectors. I don't THINK it's
necessary. I think you can use the J10 connector and a regular RS-232
cable. At least that's my understanding based on what I read at
<http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/vax/vs2khw.html>. And I am getting
something on the terminal.
