Jumping in on this, please forgive me.

I got an APC UPS (don't recall the exact model) with a serial
connection.  What kind of cable should be used (straigt, crossed or
special)?  I _GUESS_ nothing will burn if I try the wrong type, but if I
knowing the cable to be the right one would make it easier to find why
things don't work (in case it don't).
