Hi, I have a couple of machines that I would like to latch together via
Matt Dillon's DNet.  I want to make my own NULL modem cable (direct serial
link).  What pins do I connect?  Last year I directly hooked up a couple
of machines to dog fight with JET.  It went something like this

       2_____________________3
       3_____________________2
       4_____________________5
       5_____________________4
       7_____________________7

I can't remember too well what the pins are, but I think this is the setup
I had.  If this is correct, is it all I need to have DNet work properly?
If not, what is the proper pin connection which I will need?  I know I can
just buy the cable but I'd sooner make my own because (1) I can make it as
long as I want (2) IT IS CHEAPER!!

Also, if anyone can offer any help with regards to problems they have 
discovered with DNet and, of course, ways around these problems, I would
greatly appreciate it. 

You could send me email and if I get lots of useful info I can summarize
it and post it for the benefit of all.

Thanx
