I finally got mComm for Android buttoned up and ready for those interested in testing it.

You will need an android phone and a cable to go from the phone to your Model-T. I use a micro USB to regular USB adapter such as this one.

Then I plug in an FTDI USB to serial adapter like this one.

Then I plug in a Null modem cross over adapter like this one.

And finally, I attach a regular db9 to db 25 serial converter.
Here is a USB to serial converter that has one.

The above usb to serial adapter could be used in place of the FTDI adapter but I have not tested with that chipset yet.

Most of you probably already have a cable that will work. It only requires RX/TX/GND/CTS/RTS signals.

You will need to download the APK file to your Android device and install it with one of the APK installers that are found on Google play.

Once installed, hook up the cable and press the "Start TPDD Service" button. The first time it will ask you for permission to attach to the serial port and you end up having to press the start button again. After that you are ready to go. Not much else to it visually other than the hex data streams for input and output.

Let me know if you have issue with it. The download folder is below.
