    It's called an MMJ port.  It pins out as follows(ugly little ASCII
diagram added for your viewing pleasure):



         1  2  3  4  5  6
        +---------------+
        |               |
        |               |
        +----------+    +
                   +----+

            1 - DTR
            2 - TD+
            3 - TD-
            4 - RD-
            5 - RD+
            6 - DSR

    Anyhow, hope it helps.

    Oh, by the way, the VT340's are upgradable via the memory card on the
back... it just requires that you remove a fastening screw on the little
card, and lift the tab to remove it.
