I have a mac modem that I would like to hook up to an ibm using the comm port. I know what the pins are on the ibm, but can somebody tell me what each pin does on one of those little round mac connectors. Does anybody have any experience trying to do this? Please respond using mail, and I'll post any results. thanks in advance, don.
