A couple //c Serial Questions



To clear up a few possible gaps and glitches in our telecom FAQs
... 


1. Is this the correct plug type and pin numbering for a cable connector
intended for plugging into the //c serial port?


   Mini-Din 5
//c Serial Cable
  (Male) Plug 

      |_| 
   1       5
    2     4
       3


2. The connection shown below does not seem correct. Will it work as a
//c modem cable (supposedly to a modem with a DB9 connector or to a
modem using a DB9-->DB25 cable)?


DB9 Connector     5-pin male DIN Connector
-------------     -------------------

    N/C            1 Handshake Out
  3 TXD            2 Data Out (TxD)
  5 GND            3 Ground
  2 RXD            4 Data In (RxD)
  4 DTR            5 Handshake In
