This was intended for beyer@tc.fluke.com, but I couldn't send back to him
successfully... Everyone can benefit from this anyway!


The pinouts to hook a DEC printer to an IBM are as follows:
DEC printer           IBM Serial port
2--------------------------3
3--------------------------2
7--------------------------7
11------------------------5 & 6
1--------------------------1


with ready/busy protocall enabled.

I would rather think that the same general setup would work
from an IBM printer to a Rainbow serial port, but I have not
had the opportunity to test this as yet...  If you do, please
let me know the outcome.  If I get an IBM printer and test
this first, I will surely let you know.

Good luck!
