Thanks for that Victor - I guess I'll have to construct this myself.

Hi,

You should be able to use a null modem cable and, if necessary, the appropriate 9 - 25 pin adaptor. The cable should be available at most computer stores or you could construct one yourself. For my D220, the store bought cable works fine.
