I am using a 9-wire cable that connects the same pins (straight-through) on either end.
FWIW - I grabbed a 9-pin to 9-pin serial cable from a huge "Box 'o Cables" - origin unknown - but molded on one end is "PC" and the other says "UPS". Presumably, they were for connecting some UPS to a computer. I have no idea of brand, but: **They were crossover cables**. At least, pins 2 and 3 were crossed over (that's all I cared about for my application. Actually, I didn't want a crossover, so I stuck two of these cables in series, and got my desired straight-through extension :-) ). -Gord -- Gordon Pritchard, P.Eng., Member IEEE Technical University of B.C. - Research Lab Engineer mailto:gordon.pritchard@techbc.ca direct phone: 604-586-6186
