Almost all the "terminals" I've set up on DECstations are other
workstations running X11, xterm, and tip/cu.  That works.

Which serial port are you using on the DECstation and what kind of
console is it set up for? Entering the debugger on a break
(power-cycling can cause a break) sounds like you're hooked up to the
port beside the reset switch, and that port is set up as serial
console.

If you acutally see a "db>" prompt on your terminal, the fix is to use
the other serial bulkhead and to start a getty on the other one of
ttya or ttyc (i forget which).

what kind of documentation, and for what?
