Ok everybody,

I finally managed to get ahold of some DEC MMJ cables (well I got the die
for my crimping tool anyway) but I must say I'm having a bit of trouble
with the exact settings for communications for the serial console.
The docs I've been able to find point to 9600 8N1 but I've mangled every
combination of baud and rates to no avail.  At most, I can get a series
of dots on screen whenever the VAX boots or when NetBSD netboots and checks
the ports.  Otherwise, nada.

I'm using minicom and a Cyclades multiport serial board on Linux for the
console server . . .

Any help?

Thanks,

Ryan
