You probably need a null modem cable. As a test try linking 4+5 (rts/cts) and
6+8+20 (dsr/cd/dtr) on the tty plug/socket. (25 way pins)
Then when the terminal brings dtr up (data terminal ready) it also brings up
dsr (data set ready) and cd (carrier detect) so it looks like the modem is

Dan and I did a rescue run yesterday and came back with four Data General
systems; a Nova/3, a Nova/4, an Eclipse S/20, an Eclipse MV/4000, and a
large assortment of test equipment and spares. All of the systems are in
very nice condition. The Eclipse S/20 is mounted in a cabinet with a model

Curious about this machine. I've seen a few come up on ebay and they've sold
for not much money, mistaken as mere Apple II clones. I read Lee Felsenstein's
