Hi.   Is there a cheap method (cable) that allows you to use an RS232 device
on your NeXT serial ports?  I'd like to hook my modem that I already own up
to my machine (when I get it 8-).  Any advice?  Also, does the TCP/IP suite
that comes with the OS (1.0 or 2.0) support SLIP?  SLIP over modems?  Anybody
done this?  How well does it work?  Anybody got KA9Q working?

			Thanks, Ralph
