A regular null-modem cable (i.e. 2,3 crossed and a few others) will suffice
to connect the Sun-3 to any other type of terminal.

You need to use 9600 bps, no parity.

There is a norm/diag switch on the back of the CPU board.  Flip it to "diag"
and you will get (eventually!) to the ROM monitor regardless of your prom
settings.
