As I am a programmer, it would probably [lots and lots of stuff deleted] Did I suggest earlier that there was not enough information provided??? Speaking as one programmer to another, you've got 2 choices: 1. Ribbon. Everything to everything works just fine. Believe it or not, that's the way this stuff was designed! 2. Ribbon with some of the wires left out. Connect SG,RXD,TXD,DSR,DTR,RTS,CTS, CD using the same pin numbers at each end and most everything works. Add RI if you can use it. Any guesses why an AT has 9 pins? Yes I know you can do all sorts of neat stuff with jumpers and the like, but for me the cable should be transparent and the configuration done using software and the occasional DIP switch. -- David M.
