Console Cables

OK, pardon my myriad of questions tonite, but I'm learning something totally foriegn here. I've done some hunting, and it appears that I was right, the pair of small PDP-11's aren't 23's their 73's. I wan't to see if I can get them to boot, however, I'm wondering how I should connect the terminal. Do I use a straight serial cable 9600 8-N-1, null modem cable, or what. I'm already getting the impression that I'm going to end up building a cable for the VAXstation 2000. Based on what I've been able to find out on that. Hopefully the snow tonite isn't to bad, I don't think I've got any spare connectors laying around right now. Probably a good thing, I'd be tempted to build the cable right now :^) Is this the correct penout for the VS2000 console cable? 2<->3, 3<->2, 7<->7 Zane | Zane H.
