	The only possible port on a MicroVAX 3300 is the MMJ connector
	on the faceplate that has a 7-segment LED on it. It should be on the
right
	as you face the box.

	It could, of course, be broken. When you power up, what does the LED
	display do?

	If it stops at 8 or 3 (IIRC) it is waiting for input, so things are
	probably OK apart from your console. With the power off, undo
	the captive screws that hold on the CPU panel. Inside there is a
rotary switch
	that sets the baud rate. It should be 9600 but you never know!

	Other than that you should check the terminal/adapter/MMF cable
combo
	against another MicroVAX to be sure that the problem does not 
	lie there.
