Ok, can you explain the hardware side of things, as that is something I
don't know anything about.  Whereas a comms program to run on the XT I've
already written before!  Does your cable connect to the serial port (not
the parallel port).  Please post the exact details of what I need to
construct such a cable. Thanks + bye.
