Nonono you miss the point.  The VT240 is a graphics terminal.  It has 
a DB15 male plug on the back of it which looks identical to the 3100. 
I've been using a shittly little 9" monitor with it but its really 
bad as the alignment is out and it retraces accross the screen... 
then the LK201 plugs into the back of the monitor.  I want to be able 
to hook the 240 up to a better monitor but I'm unsure if it is the 
same cable.
