The one listed below is a full null cable meaning the RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR pins are not looped back.

I'm working on a couple of things for follow-up: Connecting via TELCOM and a null modem cable to various computers (PC, Mac, Raspberry Pi) as a terminal, to do file transfer, etc. Possibly doing some sort of Bluetooth-to-serial hack to connect to another system in similar fashion as above. Doing some dial-up (I need to order or create a modem cable, as the system I picked up came with just a printer ribbon cable with no termination) Spending a day doing my job from the Model 100. (Writing an article from the field, filing it, communicating with co-workers via IRC, checking email via some sort of gateway?). If anyone has any tips to share on any of these, I'd appreciate the help (and will properly credit it). :D ---- Sean Gallagher Information Technology Editor Ars Technica E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Twitter:@thepacketrat phone: 312-281-5123 http://arstechnica.com/author/sean-gallagher/ PGP Public Key can be found at : https://arstechnica.com/ars-staff-pgp-keys/ On 7/20/15, 4:49 PM, "M100 on behalf of John R.
