Of course you will need a terminal too. I have one cable which I use as a printer cable and a console port cable because the printer doesn't use 8 or 9. If you turn the console off while it is plugged in it halts th -e PRO as if a break were pressed. Todd Miller tmiller@binah.cc.brandeis.edu tmiller@caos.caos.kun.nl
