Thanks!  That's useful info.  I'll add a small pile of each to my
shopping list.

Ah, yes, I remember those.  Checking Mouser now, I see that there's an
awful lot of variants of them, though.  I think maybe I should open up
my VT520 (the newest terminal I have), and check what it's using.  It's
down from four to one working serial interface, and it's such a nice
terminal, I'd really like to have it fully operational.

I usually call those RS-237.  :)
