Ottawa Canada By convention, computers and other sources of data are wired with male rs-232-c (serial) ports. They are also called DTE (Data Terminal Equipment).
Modems and some other devices, are called DCE (Data Communications Equipment) and have female serial ports. The spec on serial ports does not specify the actual kind of connector to be used, so it may be 25 pin, 9 pin, a DIN connector or other type of connector. Hope this sheds some light on the mysteries of serial ports. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
