[NTLK] Connecting My MP2000U to Anything.

[William T]

Mystery one now solved.  Guess I've bent up the pegs on my 8 pin connector trying to connect it my old PC's... I should be able to bend those back.  Amazon is showing one of those Keyspan 28's (Used) for $25.   Is that a good deal, and more importantly, will that work with the Mac?

Again, Thanks,
William
