RE: Null Modem SLIP Connection
George,
First of all, thanks for the extremely speedy response.
Secondly, the connection is for two machines in different rooms of
the same apartment. (I'm loading up my new room-mates 'puter with
a second HDD for Debian.) The distance between the machines will be,
at most, 60-70 feet.
Thirdly, where can I find info on RS-422?
Thanks again,
--David
