  Yeah, I ran into this too.  So I went to one of B. Dalton
Bookstore's Software ETC. and picked up a PC/XT modem cable that works
great with my 2000 and my Avatex 1200.  Here in Okie-Homer the cable
was kind of expensive at 21 bucks, but for the money I got a 
six foot long cable in a nice shade of insulated grey.  :-)
