hi; a null modem cable can be purchased at any electronic/computer spare part
shop; ask for a 9 pin null modem cable(serial port to serial port with pins 1 &
2 crossed). it costs about £6.50 ie equivalent to $10.00 or so and is commonly
used for transferring files from 1 comp to another. i just bought mine a couple
of weeks ago and it works!
