2750.0. "Connecting 25 pin device to DECstation comm. port" by DAVIS::peter (Peter Davis, ZKO2-2/M28, 381-0838) Fri May 11 1990 15:14

I'm trying to connect a 3rd party device to the comm. port of my
DECstation 3100.  The device cable has a standard 25 pin connector, and
the DECstation just has a telephone-jack style plug.

Can anyone tell me how to connect these things?  Is there some kind of
adaptor or cable I can order?

I've been trying to solve this for a week already.  I ordered the
stupid "serial line cable" that was mentioned in the system
documentation, and guess what?  It's telephone-jacks on both ends!!!

Thanks

	You should be able to order them from DECdirect. The standard female version is a H8571-A. There is also a male version (don't know the number offhand). It's a RS323 standard connector with a RJ-style jack on the back for DECconnect cable.
