Some of you guys over there must be experts on handshaking protocols
and null modems, so here comes a question for you:
Exactly what does 7wire handshaking protocol mean? What's the difference
between that and RTS/CTS? I have a null modem cable that I use to connect
Amiga and Sun (using DNet of course, thanks Matt :-) but so far option
-P2 which Matt calls '7wire protocol' desn't work for me. Recently I saw
7wire being mentioned in another context, but unfortunately I can't
remember where right now...
My n-m goes like this (pin numbers on the 25-pin D-subs)
1-1, 2-3, 3-2, 4&8-5, 5-4&8, 6-20, 7-7, 20-6
Is this wrong for 7wire? If so, what's the correct wiring? I asked Matt
about this, but he didn't specify things in his answer enough for me to
understand, and I don't want to bother him again.
I'm in a bit of a hurry here, so please if you know about these things
email me on the spot!
Mike
