Especially since I've seen at least 6 different versions of "null
modem cable/adapter". The one you bought at Rad Shack is probably
wrong and the one you made yourself is probably still better.

I'm astounded at what some of my customers buy for null-modem
cables/adapters and then I have to convince them that their
problem is in their cable and not my product.  "But the package
said null modem".
