After replacing jpd with a small shell script on Monday 12 Jun 2006
18:35, the following appeared on stdout:

[1] Yes, that's just three wires, and for short lengths a bit of
[telephone cable will do just fine.

*Telephone* cable [1]? Just leave your geek card with the doorman, Mr.
Jpd. All serial cables, whether they be UPS, null modem, for the EPROM
burner or otherwise shall only be made from the best quality, low-loss
category 5 cable - the solid stuff, mind you, so you have to get the
soldering iron out every other time you use them - and never a D shell
nor a piece of neoprene sleeving shall be sighted. Pure hardware
prowess and peer admiration will keep those lines from shorting.
Believe...

[1] Actually, the 3 pair stuff is just one conductor short for a full
null-modem cable. They need seven:
2 -> 3
3 -> 2
5 -> 5 *stop here if you're not using handshaking
4 -> 6
6 -> 4
7 -> 8
8 -> 7

The above is for DB9F to DB9F. From memory. I have *no* life :-)
