I think you'll need a NULL modem, assuming it's like the SEC Rainbow I have
in the basement. At least that's what I use for connecting it to my FreeBSD
system. You'll likely need hardware flow control signals too and config.
But I've not used the Pro, but Venix has a special serial driver. And i
thought Venix didn't have TCP/IP.
