[SunRescue] SUN IPC (again) seriell connection to PC

I'd recommend spending more time with the puppy. ;)

Actually, I made a similar repair a few months ago I guess it was, and it
worked fine for me.

  What would you suggest doing for a type 5c keyboard who's cable
was chewed by a puppy?  Would you recommend buying one of these
straight-through cables and hacking it in?
