Re message posted 14 May 85, I have been trying to get
an RS232C to talk to anything, with no success.  In
particular a Tektronix 4662 plotter which appears to
be deaf, but I suspect the pin configuration is at fault.
I tried your two configs, but no luck.  In the connection
to our port selector we use
    9 pin out		rs232

which I am told is totally illogical but it works.  Any advice
on talking to the plotter?
