RE: [aclug-L] null modem cable??

["Galen Tieszen" <gtieszen@xxxxxxxx>]

Digging around I found the printout from the Dos6.?? help file for INTERLNK
and found the following instructions on how to make an INTERLNK cable --
direct from Microsoft.  I'd think that this cable would work as a null modem
cable too.

 9-pin               9-pin

pin 5    <------>   pin 5
 gnd        <>       gnd

pin 3    <------>   pin 2
 TX          <>       RX

pin 7    <------>   pin 8
 RTS         <>      CTS

pin 6    <------>   pin 4
 DSR         <>      DTR

pin 2    <------>   pin 3
 RX          <>      TX

pin 8    <------>   pin 7
 CTS         <>      RTS

pin 4    <------>   pin 6
 DTR         <>      DSR
