well i am pretty sure that it the 25 pin connector is just a printer port
i am not 100%  though i am not infront of my microvax 3100 at the moment i
can veryfi that later. so i do belive that you have to get a terminal
cable for the rj45 look a like connector on it, i have tried to get mine
going trying to use the 25-pin connector but i didnt have any success
using that one. does your terminal support vt100 ? if it does you should
be fine.
