Howdy!

I recently acquired a DEC MicroVAX 4000-300 and I want to connect it up
to an old PC that I can use as a dumb terminal. Unfortunately, I lack a
proper null modem cable, but I have a nice length of phone cable (it's
the same connector pretty much, if you sand down the clip, right?) and
a nice length of serial cable with connectors on each end. My question
is, is it possible to jury rig these two pieces of cable, so that I can
have my VAX up and running for at least a single user (Ethernet will
come later! ;) ). If so, what lines should I cross (pin numbers would
be nice :).

Thanks.

Phil.
