- Ever want to hook two computers together thru the modem ports,
- but didn't want to use those slow modems to make things work?
- Here is the answer....If you have the appropriate modem cables
- from each of the two computers. You can connect what's called
- a NULL MODEM between the two systems using your standard cables.
-
- I realize that this is nothing new to many of those computerists
- who have been 'hacking' away ever since the Intel 8008 and S-100.
- For those of you who are interested, here is a diagram for a
- Universal Null Modem. It can consist of two DB-25S connectors
- tied together using short jumper wires and spacers between the
- mounting holes, or a cable as long as you need it to reach be-
- tween the two computer modem cables.
