You need a BC008 cable or equivilant.  Its mentioned in passing in one of the 
hardware manuals.  The full spec is in the list archives and on 
acfcluster.nyu.edu

--------------from BC008.CABLE--------------


To connect a "normal" terminal as OPA0: on a VAXstation 2000, you need a 9-pin
female end for the VS2000 and RS-232 on the other.  The pin configuration
is as follows:

9-pin:          3       2       7       6       8&9 jumpered
                |       |       |       |
                V       V       V       V
RS-232:         2       3       7       20

The magic info is the 6->20 and jumpering pins 8 & 9 on the 9-pin end.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to Tom Sawyer, Clyde Digital, for calling enough people at DEC to get
a straight answer and not have to buy DEC's multi-dollar cable a while back....
