I would check, but I gave away my last non VT180 DEC terminal.

I stand corrected. I keep a VT420 on my desk= with an LK421 (the "Unix" keyboard), connected to my workstation= (now via a USB serial adapter). I just popped the keyboard and it is, inde= ed, an RJ11 for the keyboard. Serial is MMJ, which connects to an MMJ<-&= gt;DB9 converter which connects to a mini null-modem to the USB adapter.

IBM keyboard on a vt520?

Huh; apparentl= y the VT520 had (well, has...) a PS/2 compatible 6-pin mini-DIN connector:= =C2=A0http://web.mit.edu/dosathena/doc/www/ek-vt520-rm.pdf

I'm most familiar=C2=A0with the earlier VT models = that use MMJ connectors for the keyboard (and RS-232). That's kinda nif= ty, though.
