- Usually, all you need for a null modem connection is a cable wired so that
- the output of one computer goes to the input of the other and vice versa.
- Some computers might require the handshaking lines (DTR, RTS, CTS) to be
- connected a certain way; I don't know if the Macintosh does, but Atari doesn't.
- Other than that, you just need the proper connectors (25 pin, 9 pin, or
- whatever Mac uses). If the Mac and the Atari each have 25-pin modem cables,
- you should be able to just connect a null modem adapter between them. You
- might also need a gender changer.
