Wiring up to a Linux box. Going to do some SLIP experiments with Venix.
Anything special about the wiring required?
I think you'll need a NULL modem, assuming it's like the SEC Rainbow I have
in the basement. At least that's what I use for connecting it to my FreeBSD
system. You'll likely need hardware flow control signals too and config.
But I've not used the Pro, but Venix has a special serial driver. And i
thought Venix didn't have TCP/IP.

Thanks!

use a straight-thru serial

It's communication port is DCE. And the printer is DTE.
What are you connecting?
