Hello Derek, I guess you got it to the point: As far as I could determine using some primitive measurement (I am not a hardware tinkerer) the cable I have does only connect 3 lines (see my ASCII "artwork" below). So I guess it does not support hardware handshaking and I guess the Sernet is configured for that...
