Hello Fellow Mongers,
please excuse my totally Perl-unrelated question, but I am sure more than a few of you will appreciate the idea: I want to get my working VT-100 connected to a Linux server to read e-mail in a *very* old style way ;-)
I know everything I need about setting tty lines in Linux. What I do not know (and the expertise of the old timers here is the key) is what kind of cable to use to connect the darn thing... what is it called? Where do I find it? I can make one myself, but in that case I qould need a wiring diagram.
What you're looking for is a "null modem" serial cable. It's analogous to an Ethernet crossover cable.
