The cheapest and most reliable external modems seem to be for the IBM, so I was going to buy one, but I will need an adaptor cable to plug in to my built in serial port. My question is, what kind of adaptor cable will I need? Where can I get one? The serial port on my machine is sort of round, and claims to be an "RS-232C" port. Is this the same kind as is used by an Apple //c? Can I use an Apple //c to RS232 cable for this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Justin Diachun
