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

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. :)
