Speaking of standards compliance, I hear a nasty rumor that some NBI product
(workstation?) implements a RS-232 connector with pins 2 and 3 as DTE and
pin 6 as DCE. Never mind that the damn thing is female too. (according to
the standard, all DTEs, which includes terminals and computers, are to
have a male connector) I've seen some wrong stuff before but this is a
new record, if true. Please, say it isn't so.
