Thanks to everyone who replied to my earlier message about connecting a
mobile phone (Nokia 7110, GSM) to my duo 2300.

What is needed is a non-crossover adaptor. The ideal one that comes with the
Palm Mac connection kit is a crossover cable and won't work. Does anyone
know about adaptors that would convert crossover cables (and vice-versa)?
I've managed to connect using an old Newton Windows connection cable
(crossover) and then via a serial box the Palm adaptor - crossing over
again! This is obviously not ideal!

(Oddly some Mac-modem cables (din8-db25) seem to work and others don't.)

For info in case anyone wants to do it, it is possible to connect a PCMCIA
modem card to the Duo via serial through a Newton using Modembridge. It took
me a while to get it set up properly but I managed to get my Duo to use  a
Motorola Startac via a cellect card.

Thanks,
Neil
