a KA820 is an 8200. A 8250 is a KA825. Look at the processor
board, not the back panel.
To you get the three additional "console" lines do the following:
$ R SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
CONNECT SLU=1
CONNECT SLU=2
CONNECT SLU=3
This creates non-modem control lines called "TCA0",
TCB0 and TCC0.
I have heard that these lines on an 82X0 processor are not terribly efficient
because they are serviced by the CPU microcode instead of an I/O adaptor
