Thanks for the advice.  I have already tracked down the original 
schematics for a null modem cable between an Amiga and A PC.  The only 
reason for that is to send netmail packages back and forth between the 
Amiga and my PC which can do binkp.  Either that or I work really hard on 
getting binkd working on an Amiga, lol
