[geeks] Terminal ports

[Andrew Weiss]

Am I correct in assuming that:

A. An HP 9000 console port male DB9 is DTE in the same way that a PC 9 pin
serial port (also Male) is, and that a 9 pin to 9 pin Laplink Serial Cable
will do the trick?

B. The port on the back of a VT220 is also DTE and would require a DB25F to
DB9F null modem cable as well?

C. Where do straight through cables factor in?
