The best wiring for a "all-purpose" null-modem cable that I've found to work in almost every application is as follows: 25pin 25pin 1 -------- 1 2 -------- 3 3 -------- 2 4 -------- 5 5 -------- 4 6,8 ------- 20 7 -------- 7 20 -------- 6,8 I hope this helps ... __________ ___ / \ / / /-/ / /\/ _/ / / / __/. /__ / / / / / / / / "Happy Computing ..." / / ARPAnet: Johnny.J.Chin@andrew.cmu.edu / ------- / 4730 Centre Ave. #412 BITnet: jc58@andrew \__________/ Pittsburgh, PA 15213 UUCP: ...!uunet!andrew.cmu.edu!jc58 Computer Dr. ______________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: The views expressed herein are STRICTLY my own, and not CMU's.
