RS232C is a serial port interface. To connect a 'display' to an RS232 port, the display device must be part of a terminal or computer with an RS232 port, and you will probably need a swapover RS232 cable as you are connecting two Data Terminal devices together. A modem will connect to a PC or terminal RS232 port with a straight cable, as the modem is a Data Communication device.
