Hi,

I got a correction from a friendly guy on the net. So here goes:
Pin 7 on the Mac IS connected, though it's not documented until
IIsi, what might be the reason that most cables don't support DCD
(Multipurpose In, that is :). Now for my favorite cable:

Computer Side (Mini-Din 8)     Modem Side (D-Sub 25)

1 (HSKo)                       4 (RTS) (possibly 20 (DTR) ... though
                               that means trouble with most soft)
2 (HSKi)                       5 (CTS)
3 (TxD-)                       2 (TxD)
4 (GND)                        7 (GND)
5 (RxD-)                       3 (RxD)
6 (TxD+)                       n.c.
7 (DCD)                        8 (DCD)
8 (RxD+)                       7 (GND)

Bye
Soenke
