This is the "no-name generic cable with a DB9 encapsulated in
transparent "Imac
blue" plastic that is based on the FTDI chipset" that I referred to
in my last post ! It set up with absolutely no hassle, worked on the
first try and has been running ever since. [ I bought it under
another name at PC Club, a chain of computer stores in Southern
California. ]<br>
