Anyone know what it takes to connect an original DEC Vt-100 to a PC UNIX box
to COM1?

I can talk to my modem with COM1 but not with the terminal.  I've constructed
a null adapter which switches pins 2 & 3 and 7 is straight through.  This
contraption works because I used it on my Amiga.  Is there any settings I am
missing?  The baud rate is 9600.

Also, anyone know the address of Visual?  I've brought a Visual 220 dumb
terminal with no docs.  The keyboard look like a DEC 220.  Is this the right
keyboard?  Keyboard looks identical a Qume terminal keyboard also.

The UNIX is Xenix/386 2.3.2.  Thanks for the help!
