I've got an old SE/30 that I want to hook up to the Internet. Now the
machine has no built in Ethernet card (I've looked and the SE/30
specific ones are like pixie dust) and only has those funky little 8-
pin serial ****ts on the back.
I figured I could just give it a PPP connection from another box IF I
could find an adapter from the 8-pin ****t to a normal DB9 male ****t,
and then stick a null modem cable between that and another box.
Do such adapters exist? Are they still sold? In the UK / EU? What
kinds of speeds can the SE/30's serial ****t sup****t?
I found one prebuilt Mini->DB9 female null modem cable (http://
www.govconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=6503215) but 26
bucks + ****pping + UK duty and VAT make that less attractive.
Thanks in advance,
Sampsa
