Hello!

Is it possible for two Macs to communicate via serial port (transfer files)
using a standard Apple serial cable (part number M0197) and telecommunication
software such as VersaTerm or Red Ryder?

I have a client who wants to exchange data with two Macs in this fashion. I
think it'll work but can't be sure that the M0197 (usually used to connect Mac
to ImageWriter) will do the trick.

Do we need a "null modem" cable? Comments?
