I would like to know of a local supplier of such cables. I'd rather not make my own cable if I can get away with it. >>> chrome at real-time.com 06/29/01 03:22PM >>> I've got a Wyse 182 dumb terminal that I'd like to use on the serial port of a Linux or BSD box. what kind of serial cable do I need? anyone know if I can just use a crossover cable; or do I need a funky pinout of some sort? it ought to make a decent syslog monitor. :)
