True, true. And there seem to be two different sizes of those round plugs in use. At least, I've seen adapters to connect between the two sizes. My system isn't as obsolete as I thought.

So maybe serial is still alive. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
