-------
I don't have a pinout handy for the DB9 connectors. Why not
just get a cheap DB9 null modem connector from a store?
As to type of modem to select, the answer is none. There is
no dialing, no modem. Just set the serial port characteristics manually
and put them into a handy Kermit .ini file. These characteristics are
the port identification (COM1 etc), speed, parity, flow control. Do
this manually first to check that things work as expected.
