I was looking through the new JAMECO catalog the other day and noticed the
following cables which might be of general interest:

Cat #.....Description............................1-9......10-99
APC2......modem cable (DB-25 to mini DIN)........4.95.....3.95
MAC1......null modem cable (DB-25 to mini DIN)...5.95.....4.95
APC3......printer cable (mini DIN to mini DIN)...4.95.....3.95
APC4......adapter cable (mini DIN to DB-9 F).....5.95.....4.95

JAMECO can be reached at (415) 592-8097.  These look like very good prices
to me, compared to the typical $20 computer-store price for a cable.

DISCLAIMER!  I have never bought one of these cables, so I can't speak for
the quality, although I have been pleased with JAMECO in the past and
believe them to be a reputable company.
