Hello Derek,
I guess you got it to the point:
As far as I could determine using some primitive measurement (I am not a
hardware tinkerer) the cable I have does only connect 3 lines (see my ASCII
"artwork" below). So I guess it does not support hardware handshaking and I
guess the Sernet is configured for that...
Kind Regards,
Michael
