Google can find lots of them, 25 pin or 9 pin, dongle or cable, ... http://www.google.com/products?as_q=&num=30&scoring=p&btnG=Search+Products&as_epq=null+modem&as_oq=&as_eq=&price1=&price2=&as_occt=any&show=dd&safe=active Products Results 1 - 30 of about 4,711 for "null modem" $1.68 and up. There is more than one null modem pinout, be sure to get the one you need. For a software solution to work, the pins would need to be bidirectional. I doubt that anyone makes a RS-232 chip with bidirectional pins. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
