[QUOTE="digdog, post: 232464, member: 175295"] Seems like a lot of worry when you can pick up a 10 metre null modem cable for £3-£4 +postage on fleabay. One tip I liked (from another forum - I forget where) was to cut a short null modem cable in two and let in a suitable length of CAT or multicored phone wire - as long as the colours in the original two halves are matched correctly at each end and the bare wires are properly insulated against shorting it doesnt matter what colour the joining wire is - and you dont have to worry about which pin does what. But it is easier and safer to buy a 10 metre cable methinks! :) :) [/QUOTE]
