The K3's rear-panel RS-232 connector is female. A M-F serial cable works fine to extend a USB to Serial adapter.

However, I see from the picture of the K3 rear panel that the RS232 connector is male. I looked at my Keyspan USA 19HS adapter and found that it is also male. So to make it work I would need a f-f serial cable. I think that I should order a KUSB, which is exactly what I was trying to determine. I appreciate yours and everyone's help with this.
