Michael,
The following is from a post that I made in December, 2000. Laplink cables
are generally the "Parallel Direct" cables, i.e., Bi-Directional parallel.
Hope this helps.

Serial Null Modem Cable DB25 to DB25:

Serial Null Modem Cable DB25 to DB9

Like Bob Deering, I prefer to use null modem adaptors and straight thru
cables. The adaptor will be labeled as a null modem adaptor, but a null
modem cable is rather indistinguishable from a straight thru cable.
Hope this helps.
