Re: [9fans] Anyone awake?

Yeah, uhhh...

    My friends took me out for a night of pubs, last night
for like the first time in a good 5 months.

    I returned properly toasted.

    Anyhoo, Skip quickly smacked me back into reality when
he realized that I'd confused RS232 DB25 with IBMPC DB25
parallel ports. Woo hoo! :-/

    Thank God I was too tired to try the parallel port
thing, or I would have ended up frying something, hahaha.

    *However*, because of the ensuing confusion I caused
with that post, I dont feel so damned bad about mucking
up. Haha at you all, too! ;-)

    I think the problem is I've got a laplink cable when
I just need a female -> female DB9 for the last segment
of the connection. Then again... that DB25->DB9 thing
may-or-may-not be a null modem.

    Bah, whatever, I'll go to Radio Shack later.

Thanks for the help, none the less, all. Skip sent me a
pretty cool website that "asserted" the "hey ya drunk
bastard what do you think you're doin" pin in my brain.
