What you have described is TOO hard. The PK-232 has special connectors and
I had to run a y-cable out of the 13-Pin DIN to the two weird PK-232
connectiors. The SignaLink came with a 13-Pin DIN on one end and some
special telephone plug on the other that goes to the SL-1+ PC board.
Just too hard!
Again, I HATE messing with the horrible 13-Pin DINs. Too bad nobody makes
an A/B switch.
