FYI, I have successfully connected a terminal (well, a pc with emulation)
to my NeXT box.  Here are the steps to take if your interested:

1.  Acquire an "MAC+ to Imagewriter" 8pin -> db25 cable.
2.  Plug cable into "A" port of NeXT and db25p of PC.
3.  Log in as root of NeXT and:
	a.  Turn "on" the "ttya" port and select proper terminal type in "/etc/ttys" file.
	b.  Make whatever corrections to "/etc/gettytab" are necessary.
4.  Power off/on system (actually init -1 1 might work).
5.  Have fun with your terminal.
