MV>fuck!
Love to. ;) (depending on equipment, of course)
But first, let's get those /computers/ plugged together.
What you need is a "null modem". Usually it's an "adaptor", not a
cable. Any "good" computer store (say, Radio Shack here) should have
them. And I built one, 'cause I didn't like theirs. No biggie, really.
Tell you what: what kind of cable have you, and what kind of serial
ports are you trying to connect? I need pin quantities, and
male/female. I can probably find you one, or build it if need be.
You're in Australia, right? I'm in the USA.
