Hello world.

I find myself in need of a good User_port <--> rs232 interface for my 128.
I haven't been in the market for cbm hardware in a few years, so any
recomendations given are gratefully received.  (Or was that greedily
received?  :-)

My specific need is for something to hook up Hewlet Packard's null-modem
cable interface designed to connect a HP-48SX handheld to a Ms-DOS
machine.  The cable has a 9-pin plug, and comes w/a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.

I assume that the 9-pin is DIN; the 25-pin is of course std.

I would like an interface that could also be used to connect a std modem to
the 128.  My price range is not too high, though all recomendations are
welcome!

Thanks!

-JimC
