Ok, I bought a used RS232 terminal capaible from 50 to 19.5Kbaud, great. Now, I need to know how to make a null modem cable. Of course my standard Amy to Modem cable doesn't work... The Terminal is standard: 1 Frame Gnd. 2 Transmit Data Output 3 Rec. Data Input 4 Request to send out. 5 Clear to send input 6 Data Set Ready Inp. (opt.) 7 Sig. Gnd. 8 Carrier Dectect Input 20 Data Term. Ready Output 9 20 mA ... 14 20 Ma... 10 Detected Current Loop data 25 Current Loop + transmit 13 Current Loop - transmitt 12 Current Loop + reveice 24 Current Loop - Receive --------^^from the terminal manual-^^^^------------- So, what do I match the Amiga pinout's with on this? I've tried the following: AMIGA TERMINAL ------------------------- TD RD RD TD RTS CTS DCD DSR RI DTR GND GND DCD RTS CTS DTR DSR RI But It doesn't quite work, in fact Not at all..... Also, Among the many dip switches are #8 DCD Disconnected and DCD Conneceted #9 DSR " " DSR " " #10 DTR " " DTR " " The others I fugured out such as Baud. The terminal is a TeleVideo Mod 920 c by the way... I got it for $35.00 Works in a local mode... Can anyone help me get this thing going.. Thank's In Advance, Sean
