philip@image.me.utoronto.ca (Philip Cheng AWN) asks about connecting
a Mac to a Microvax.

You might find the simplest solution will be to get two cables: a
"Mac to Hayes Modem" cable with the correct Mac-side pins, and a
"null Modem cable" to connect the 25-pin side of the Hayes-Mac
cable to the Microvax.

You can get null modem cables at many computer periferal stores.
I think the Dec part number is BC22-A.  Unfortunately, I left
my Microvax at the office.
