Hey all,
	I went to a computer show tonight and found a
MiniDIN8 -> DB25 cable for a Macintosh. Since my partner-
in-crime is away mountain climbing, I have no idea how
to set this up.

	Google searches only reveal documentation on
setting up serial consoles on the server side, not the
client side. I'm planning on using an IBM PC (either plan9
or UNIX) as the terminal. Can anyone give me any pointers
on how to set this up?

	Since the cable is DB25, I'm lookin' at using my
parallel port. Is that even possible, to simulate a serial
console over the parallel? Or, am I looking at using another
adapter to connect the parallel to serial?

Thanks, as always,

Don
