Yep RS232C. The only oddity is that 'DTR' is actually 'RTS' - and
should be wired as such for computer/computer transfer.
The missing of this simple fact has caused more heartache (especially to
SERNET unsers) than almost any other hardware aspect of the QL.
The 'standard' ports use off shelf Bicc-Vero connectors which are still
sold by Electrospeed (were Verospeed)
