Look at the attached configuration for the 3153 terminal.

Subject: Using the two ports on an IBM 3153 terminal

I have an IBM 3153 that I'm trying to use as a serial console for two
headless machines. The 3153 has an "AUX" and an "EIA" port. According
to
its manual, one is
DTE, one is DCE, but you can supposedly use both for serial terminals
(one
just needs a null modem adapter, the other doesn't).

Well, I have one machine working on the AUX port with a null modem
adapter.
The
other port, no matter what I try, just doesn't seem to do anything. At
this

point, I don't suspect the terminal itself, I'm still thinking it's an
RS-232
issue.

Any ideas??
