I think every VAXstation has 4 serial ports. One for keyboard, one for mouse, 2
"official" serial ports, where one is the serial console, if you don't use
keyboard/mouse/monitor.

Just a matter of how to adapt it, there is an adapter to convert VAXstation
2000 to MicroVAX 2000, which patches the Keyboard/Mouse-connector to the
2 other serial ports, on the other VAXstations i think you should make your
own adapter cable.

As i remember special NetBSD versions, which had tty00 and tty01 enabled in
/etc/ttys and so mangling kbd/mouse, it has support for those ports.
