[rescue] rs-232 splitter

[awouk at shelly.nilenet.net]

i actually have an original sun a-b  rs-232 splitter sitting on my desk.
calling it a Y-spliter is confusing. it is actually shaped likw the letter V. 
ot has three standard DB-253 connectors.

of this is still desired - please write to me at my open mail address:
