Develcon monitor port command
In order to access the monitor ports (slims) on our dataswitch from
a terminal to monitor both directions, we built a special cable which
will take the output from both pins 2 & 3 (both are outbound on the
card) and place all the data on pin 3. this cable may then be con-
nected to a DTE slim, which may be addressed. Consequently, any
terminal with appropriate permissions may be used as a monitor for
the dataswitch connections. This is especially nice if your terminal
(or micro) can show control characters, giving you essentially a
datascope on your desk. (You can't see which characters came from
which source, but all characters can be seen.)
The connections for the cable are:

2-----|>|---|

3--(5k ohm)-|
7------------------------------------7

|>|- is my crude representation of a diode. (i hope it's
turned right. anode is connected to the pin, and cathode to the
resistor.)
this can then be connected via a directory or a force connect.
ps - the televideo 950 will show control characters. are there
any other common terminals with this feature?
