Hi all:

What is the difference between 9-pin null modem and 25-pin null modem ?

I was reading an article on remote kernel debugging and the author insists
on using a 25-pin null modem.

For all my kernel debugging requirements, I use a 9-pin serial cable.

For serial communication, what benefit would the extra pins entail.
It is understandable if one needs to connect to the printer, but for serial 
line debugging ?

Can somebody throw light on this ?

thanks
Saifi.
