I acquired a serial cable from someone who does lot of connecting to devices through serial ports. It is a standard serial cable with a small ribbon serial cable attached to the end. There are several crimp on connectors on the ribbon and prior to the terminating connector the individual wires from the ribbon required for a cross over are separated and crossed over. This make it trivial to change the type of connection The illustration on the following page give a general idea of the concept; http://www.blackbox.com/Catalog/Detail.aspx?cid=45,84,869&mid=3729 Cheers Ross
