- Dear me,
-
- It's called a null modem cable. You cross read and write lines.
- Hack one up in 5 minutes yourself, or go to radio shack and buy the
- connector for $5.
-
- You use a null-modemed connection like any other connection, but unless
- you specifically wire it, don't expect carrier detect or ring to
- give you any info.
