Hmm...ok, it's been quite a while since I've been working with serial
direct computer-to-computer connections, but from what I recall, a
nullmodem cable is simple and plainly a serial cable with rx and tx
lines crossed. At least on RS232 serial ports - or am I wrong there?
As mentioned before, it's been quite a while in the past since doing
stuff like that.

Btw - a simple DB25 to DB25 Nullmodem-Cable (for pc / rs232) should be
somewhere in my lockers...

I will look for such cables on the internet, and try to make up my own
one as well - a bit of training with the good old soldering gun won't
hurt that much (as long as you don't touch the iron  ;-)  )

Thanks for the information.
