You can either get them from Digikey, or you can break off the keying/locking piect from a normal (DB12) phone connector. We used Digikey parts for the CS lab at Weber State University. > 3). most important: what is the pinout for the DEC-modular > connector? It's in the manual for the terminal. But the multisession commands are not, so if you expect to use them, expect to have to use a line monitor between a DEC terminal server and the terminal itself.
