pinout for smith corona ultrasonic 350 messenger?

[James Rice]

The Messenger Module was a small beige and brown box, cast aluminum with 
a 18 inch DB9M  pigtail and a power cord attached.  There was a dip 
switch bank, Cen36 parallel port and DB25F serial port on the back end.  
There was a red led on the other end.  It was strictly an output device, 
when the MM was active, the keyboard was shut down.
