That's a good suggestion, but you still have to make sure that the cable is correctly crossed or un-crossed. The simple way is to use one of the little gizmos with LEDs. A scope works. So does trial and error. I've gotten in the habit of marking the connectors on my serial cables with a big X if it's a crossover and a || if it isn't. (This may be a wild goose chase if your collection of serial cables and toys is cleaner than mine.) -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
