A standard parallel (or serial) cable that has been dog chewed or vacuum mowed can be turned into a null modem adapter just as Ron said. If you have no old cable or connectors to start with, null modem adapters are available at many places; just plug it into one of the comp ports, plug that end of the cable into it. The cable is a regular serial or parallel cable in this case. Bob Starts April 1, 2001 -- Arachne V1.69, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
