If you're hooking up to a Mac that supports AppleTalk over a serial port,
you definitely want to find a pair of PhoneNet connectors (and an ordinary
piece of phone cord). An AppleTalk connection is far faster than a plain
old serial connection. I haven't looked for these in years, but you may be
able to find them on eBay, or else probably one of the vendors in the back
of MacWorld magazine has them still. Also, someone on here might have an
extra set.
