Okay, so I scoped the serial line, and the EIA line drivers seemed to be acting funny, mark voltage was way to high, etc. So checked power, and looks like I have a -15V distribution issue to the SPC slots on my backplane. Moved the DL11 over to my DD11 expansion where I already debugged -15V

These settings work for a DL-11 M7800 9600b console serial port. Real Time option 540677 5008775B c29 open/out (not 110 baud) c31 open/out (not 100 baud) NP-U out (=no parity/disabled) 2SB-U out (2 Stop Bits) 2SB-U out (2 SB) EPS out (EPS=even parity when NP is jumrd) NB1/NB2 these two are set
