 Emulating a Motorola CDX268 terminal on a Macintosh or Apple II is easy. The
 CDX286 is what was once, affectionately, called a "glass TTY".  It's a very
 basic terminal that you can configure for baud rate, data and stop bits, and
 parity.  The port can be configured for either RS-232 or RS-422. It requires
 no
 strange or out-of-the-ordinary protocols.  All of this means that almost any
 terminal emulation program for the Macintosh or Apple II can be set up to act
 like a CDX268.

 To do the emulation, set it up CDX286 in TTy mode and connect the appropriate
 cable to the built-in serial port.  The cable, like your configuration,
 depends
 on what you're connecting to.
