	OK, finally got my girlfriend's 286 to use as a serial console to 
my Classic II =)  Is there anything unusual about the cable I need to use 
to connect them?  I'm assuming the serial cable on a PS/2 Model 50 is the 
male DB-25, so my two options are:

- the cable from the Newton Connection Kit For Windows.. anyone know if this
	would work?
- an ordinary Mac modem cable (do I need HW Handshaking?), with a DB-25 
	Female to Female coupler

(DB-25 is what an ordinary RS-232 port uses)

Anyone tell me which of these would work?  (From experience/guess)

Thanks,
David Bushong
