     Neat! As for the "6' null modem cable", the "cable" may be just 3-4 
inches. If a user's modem cables are too short for a connection, a long 
extension cable (25-pin female -> 25-pin male) is easy enough to add-in.

     There are some who would say that the above response exhibits 
elements of sarcastic condenscention which might well be construed as,
