I have a dumb terminal and a 1200 baud bell-packard modem which I would like
to connect through the RS232 port of the terminal. My connecting cable
has only 4 wires and the connections, as a result, have only 4 pins. I believe
that the pin arrangement is not correct. Would someone please tell me the
correct pin arrangement for this VT100 compatible terminal and the pin
arragement for the modem output line?

with many thanks,
M. Kiumarse Zamanian
