 The Amiga 3000, 2500, 2000, and 500 all have the same type of serial port as
an MS-DOS machine. If the modem was originally designed for a IBM PC (a lot
are) then it will connect right up. If it is being connection to the Amiga 1000
then you will need a special cable for two reasons.

 First, the gender of the serial port is reversed from the other Amiga 
computers.

 Second, pins 14-18, 21, 23-25 must NOT be connected. Plus pin 22 is normally
the RI (Ring Indicator) line but not on the Amiga 1000.
