For anyone who might have a Nokia DKU-5 USB-Phone cable. Mine is a
Chinese copy, however is recognised as a Prolific PL2303 USB-Serial
adaptor and might be able to be hacked into use as a USB-RS232 cable.

I only paid about $20 Aussie and would like to put some 9-pin
connectors towards the phone end of the cable to allow dual use.

Bear in mind that I don't know if a genuine Nokia DKU-5 cable also
works in this fashion, because this cheapo "DKU-5" is not a drop-in
replacement for the genuine Nokia and requires its own driver in XP
distinct from the Nokia driver. In other words, the real DKU-5 might
not be recognised as a serial adaptor in any BSD.
