Can someone please tell me about how to connect two amigas and play falcon in dogfight mode? Is a null modem cable necessary, or will an rs-232 with a gender changer work? If not, do I need two null-modem adapters? Thanks JM

We did it with a null modem, an extra cable, and a gender changer. We got all the stuff at Radio Sh*t for about $20 and after making 20 trips. We bought the null modem, went back, realized we needed a gender changer, went back, needed a cable, etc. After about 2 hours we got it working. But it shouldn't take too long if you know what you are doing. :^) But be warned Falcon is pretty slow in head to head mode.
