10^6 thanks to all who helped. Here is the answer:

Take a null modem cable (I believe the ImageWriter to Mac II will do it)
and connect the printer port with the serial A port of the cube.

Change the ttya line in the etc/ttys file to

ttya    "/usr/etc/getty std.9600"       vt100         on secure

Then either say kill -HUP 1 or just reboot.

That's it. Now you are ready to login. As a matter of fact, I am writing
this on my Mac logged into my cube rloginned into our SUN 4 which has
Pnews on it. 

Thanks again!!!!! In view of the many responses I will not send a thank
you note individually.
