I am preparing the computers for this weekend's M/S effort at N4PN. I have
made up the serial cables and they are working fine. I am only using the RX
data and TX data and ground....I notice in the manual, it mentions RTS and
CTS and DSR and DTR (both crossed over) being connected as well....are the
RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR connections absolutely necessary??...everything is
working fine without them.
