>From what I remember, some of the Dectalk Expresses use MMJ (a proprietary Dec connecter) for their serial port. You need to find mmj->db9 cable...I'm looking for one of these at the moment for my VAXstation 3100, which uses the same type of connecter, and they seem a little hard to find. You can grab an MMJ patch cable from Blackbox, and try and find a db-9 to mmj adapter on ebay or the like which is what I will probably end up doing.
