This is a set of write-ups on using RS232 cables to connect personal
computer devices, such as a CPM or PC-compatible to a modem or printer
device.  Brief descriptions of files in this LBR:

    File          Description

    CAUTIONS      How to be careful about ruining
                  expensive equipment and voiding
                  warranties.

    NULMODEM.KIT  Probably the most useful write-up. A
                  description of the cable configuration
                  that will work in connecting many 
                  DCE-to-DCE or DTE-to-DTE pairs of
                  devices.

    RS232CBL.INF  Explains what "DCE" and "DTE" means,
                  with the effect on cable configurations.

    MDM-CONN.DAT  Description of functions of RS232 wires
                  and pins when used in connecting modems.
