[comp.sys.handhelds] cable/kermit

Does anyone know anything about a cable to connect the HP48sx to a Mac?
I gather HP sells them, along with a kermit program for about $100.

What do I really need to get the job done?  Is it not possible to use a
public domain mac kermit program and just buy the cable? Help?...

I'm getting really tired of typing in all these wonderful programs by 
hand.

-Dave.

Go down to the local electronix store and pick up a few feet of cable, a nice
rs232 connector (db25, mini8 din, etc) and four small pins (well, they are
hollow, so I suppose they shouldn't be called pins) and solder it all together.

Download a nice kermit program, and go to work - works quite nicely
