 I generally insist on keeping a "true" v.35 interface somewhere between the
 two devices.  This provides a point at which I can plug in test equipment
 without changing any cables.  It also makes it much easier to replace the box
 at either end -- there's no need to worry about subtle differences in DB25 pin
 assignments, and it puts the onus for cable compatibility on the vendor.
