[mod.computers.vax] Console Port on MicroVAX-II

nagy%bsndbg.hepnet@LBL.ARPA (03/19/87)

According to my KA630-AA CPU Module User's Guide (Digital order number
EK-KA630-UG-001), the Console SLU Connector (J3) only shows pinout
signals for SLU inputs and output and no "modem control" signals like
DTR, etc.  Thus the console port is only appropriate for directly
connected terminals.

The DHV11 (or equivalent, lots of 3rd party equivalents) does support
modem control signals and terminals connected via these lines would
behave the way you want.
