Now that comment shows you to be a bit far removed from the average
user. Serial ports might be easy to you, so you haven't had to deal
with the regular flow of 'sernet doesn't work' messages. It's taken me
this long to (fail) to get sernet working from PC or Aurora to
anything, yet it works just fine between PCs for me (and Ataris and
Q60s by all acounts).

The Aurora in my MinisQL has a 9 pin D connector so you'd expect it to
work with a PC cable, but it doesn't! And the IDC connectors can go on
the Aurora either way, there is no locking mechanism to make sure it's
in "right way round"

Sorry, but anyone who thinks serials are easy is living on a different
planet to the average user.
