Ah, so I have a BC16E-10. It's been a while but I assumed that since it
was crossover and I was having no joy that I had the wrong cable. I should
be clear, I'm trying to connect a VT420 to a PDP11/53. Tried both ports on
the PDP and all manner of settings on the VT. I'm assuming that I can use
the MMJ socket on the VT (the one not marked for a printer obviously) and
that I don't need to use the 25W D and an MMJ convertor.
You'll have to bear with me, it's been about 11 years since I've played
around with MMJs Etc.

Hello,
A little while ago I bought a "new" 10ft MMJ cable from That Website. Today
I came to use it and discovered it was a crossover cable. So, my question is
where can I buy a straight MMJ - MMJ? 10ft would be fine, longer perhaps
better, and ideally a UK source.
Are there normal MMJ cables which are not crossover cables?
A BC16E is a crossover cable and isn't that what is normally used and
the trick is to use the correct adapter (or no adapter all all) at
either end of the MMJ cable?
