Thanks, Paul..

I talked to the guy at Intrec on the phone before I got the cable and
he said that it would definitely work with the //c+.

I'll play around with it some more - I'm writing a serial test program
under Windows and I'll see what I can get.  If no luck, I've got an
RS-232 breakout box that I can fiddle with.

Cheers!
