Hi: I have a steady hand and a good eye when soldering and was thinking of crafting null modem cables like Rick Hanson used to do for sale to the model T community. This to to make file transfer cheap and easy for our community, especially the folks who don't own a NADSbox or are new to the model T. What specifications would be the most universal, DB9 to DB25, male or female? I'm thinking of crafting a general purpose serial cable and adding a gender changer or two to adapt to any configuration.
Of course these days a usb to serial adapter would be needed by most folks, but one still needs the "special" full null modem cable to make the final connection. Or can this be done in the software of the usb to serial cable itself? Any recommendations on a good usb to serial device/cable (like an FTDI) that we could recommend to new folks? Your thoughts on this are appreciated Dave Szasz NV3F
