Hello again guys,

 I'm still having a problem with my VS-2000 talking to my laptop through the printer serial port.

What I've concluded is the following.... 



---------	         -----------
|VS-2000|----------------|Laptop   |
---------^               -----------
         |------Null Modem


On the VS-2k side, pins 8+9 (I soldered them together on the Motherboard!) are shorted the null modem 
is plugged into the Vax and a straight through cable.

I have also tried swapping pins 2+3 and making 5 straight through w/ 8+9 shorted on the VS-2k.

I'm still not getting any response! 
 
Three questions..

1. Am I cabling this guy correctly? I think I would have hit it at least once by now!

2. Do I need to pull the 4-plane graphics card out of the machine for the terminal to work?

3. Is there any way I can run the diagnostics on the serial port from the >>>?

Thanks again everyone... One day I WILL run NetBSD on this damn thing!!!

Kevin
