[TenTec] Omni VI: DB9 vs DB25

[Chris Robson]

I have my Omni 6+ hooked up direct to my pc using a standard serial cable
and an adapter from 25 to 9 (9 going into the pc) with no problem. One of
the best selling points of the Omni 6 was the fact that you didn't need a
special cable, a standard serial cable should work. Does with both of my
Omnis.
