Ah, so I have a BC16E-10. It's been a while but I assumed that since it 
was crossover and I was having no joy that I had the wrong cable. I should 
be clear, I'm trying to connect a VT420 to a PDP11/53. Tried both ports on 
the PDP and all manner of settings on the VT. I'm assuming that I can use 
the MMJ socket on the VT (the one not marked for a printer obviously) and 
that I don't need to use the 25W D and an MMJ convertor.

You'll have to bear with me, it's been about 11 years since I've played 
around with MMJs Etc.

Cheers,
