    Yep, that'll do it. If you feel like terminating it, you need a BNC "T"
and two 50 ohm terminators.

    According to the Docs for my 5000/200 (DZ serial port based), the
transmitters max out at 38400 baud (yes baud was used in the DEC manual,
sheesh). So you'll have to limit your DTE to 38400. It also mentions that at
speeds above 9600, the DZ uses an external baud generator. This means that
you can't have one port set to 19200 and the other port set to 38400. In
other words, if both ports are set above 9600, they have to be the same
speed to work.
