Sorry if this is the 4.23e06 time this question has been raised
here, but I need someone to tell me how to null modem. My
father-in-law has bought a Mac and needs to move his data files from
a CP/M Kaypro to the Mac. I thought null modeming sounded like a
promising way to go, but I'm ignorant about electronics and such and
am afraid I might blow up his new Mac! :)

I understand only this much: that I need a special cable to connect
the Mac modem port directly to the Kaypro's RS232. I have found a
source for the cable, but I'd like to find out what I'm getting into
before pursuing this any further. Please help!
