     This is probably obvious to anyone with hardware experience, but
here goes.

     I have an antique Lex-11 modem sitting around from the days when
I used it with my TVI 912.  The terminal/computer end of the modem
cable has a male connector.

     I have also a plain vanilla PC with an RS-232 port whose
connector is also male.  Though I've had it for a couple of years,
I've not yet had the need to use (or even test) this port.

     QUESTION:  Can I simply buy a female-female adaptor cable 
which connects all of the pins to their corresponding pins, or
do I need to do some kind of pin-switching?

                           Thanks.  E-mailed responses are fine.
