A few comments regarding Mac+ mini-DIN 8 to DB25 modem cable.  Apple does
not seem to market such a cable.  They do make a male DB25 to male min-DIN 8
cable, which is sold as a means of connecting an Apple IIe to the the
Imagewriter II ***OR*** the Apple personal modem.  The OR means that the cable
is actually a null-modem cable, and won't work directly with most conventional
modems  (Apple has configured their Personal Modem as a DTE, while nearly all
other modems are configured as DCE's; Apple did it differently, but with very
good reasons).  You could buy Apple's cable and then get a
female-to-male DB25 null-modem cable ($15 from Dow Electronics); but
I trust somebody will market the correct cable one of these days.
