I need a cable that supports hardware handshaking on a Hayes V Series modem.
From Hayes, it's $32. Somehow, this seems a bit too expensive for a cable.
If anyone knows of another source, PLEASE email me or post the address,
price, and perhaps a phone number for contact.
Thanks.

Chris, You and I keep running into each other in the strangest places! :) Actually, I don't find the $32 out of line. I've seen modem cables going for more than $40 in some catalogs. The Prometheus modem manufacturer sells hard- ware handshake cables as well, but I don't know their prices. I suspect that a mail order outfit like MacConnection carries such cables as well.
