Someone had a question a while back about connecting an Apple II to the
HP48.
Our Macs at work have DB9 rs232 ports instead of whatever Apple uses.
I bought a surplus Apple II modem cable today and successfully used it
with my homebrew 48 cable.  The Apple II cable and the HP48 pc cable
with the 9 to 25 pin adapter should also work.  A null modem adapter
may or may not also be required.  The Apple II cable had a 9 pin male
DB9 and a 25 pin male DB25.  Most pins were missing, but the required
pins were there.

(as to Kermit for the Apple II, beats me)
