Clint,

A null-modem is required if you are using a TI cable part#
2303070-xxxx, while one is not required with a cable part#
2303077-xxxx.  I do not think a printer cable will work with Explorer
Kermit.  If you need a pin-outs, I may be able to get one unless they
have already been sent to HP.  This question pops up about once a
year (comes from an ex-Personal Consultant user on an Explorer.) They
used to Kermit to transfer knowledge databases between an Explorer
and a PC.
