- When I wrote that, I was using it with an Aprotek com-modem adaptor in the
- user port and running it at 9600bps. Now I use the same cable and
- null-modem adaptor, and add a standard modem cable to give me the DB9, and
- plug it into my Swiftlink. I do data transfers between the pc and C= at
- 38.4Kbps now!
