Look at the man page for zs.  It will have the info you need.  This is
assuming you have the man pages.  I have my IBM PC (clone) connected to

I don't know this one. I made my cable myself. Cost was about $5.

If you don't have the man pages I'll mail you the connections you need
or post.  I just don't have them handy right now.
