I have an amiga 2500/30 and an old amiga 1000.  I also have some problems
with a C program I am developing.  I have recently obtained the enforcer
and mungwall and planned on using them to help me find some problems.  
While the docs say that I can use a terminal program and have the modem
echo back the informatiojn sent to the serial port, when I try this many
characters are lost and it is quite slow (also the terminal program itself
seems to cause quite a few 'hits' that enforcer catches.

Anyway - getting to the point - I wish to use my old A1000 as a dumb terminal
and connect it to the serial port of my A2500/30.  I plan on running the
terminal program on the A1000 and get the debugging info there.

How do I build a NULL modem cable to connect the A2500 and A1000?  

Thanks for any info you can give.
