This is exactly what we went through at the show. Tony should recall this because he kept saying that laplink cables would work when they did not. I think the serial connection cables from Lindy Electronics were also laplink ones but called something different.Hi Roy,
All that is required is a standard Null Modem Lead, they work perfectly.
Laplink cables do not work as you have stated. In fact all that is required is 5 lines.
RX --------------- TX TX ---------------- RX CTS--------------- RTS RTS -------------- CTS GND ------------- GND
I was going to build a little box that could connect up 4 Sernet computers, but never got around to it. Might make and bring it to the next show.
