If that's the machine I think it is, that DB25 is _not_ for a terminal. 
It's not a seiral port, it's not a parallel port, it's video output for 
special Olivetti monitors. IIRC there are power lines (at least +12V -- 
the runoured 70V is a myth!) there as well to power a monochrome monitor.

Alas I don't have the pinout or specifications for that connector.
