Yeah, somebody else suggested such a thing here earlier in this thread. The one supply of those I could find would have ended up costing me 4x what I got the ttl/rs232 adaptor I have on order for. The "nokia phone" cable is interesting in as much as you find those things in liquidation/discount stores sometimes. I think my question was though, is that those have a USB end on them most of the time, yes? So you need to know that the chip that's in them doing the ttl/usb conversion has a driver for Linux, yes? I guess most do in as much as somebody always wants their phone USB connection working. :-) With them all going bluetooth these days though, I suppose those cables are going out of style. :-/ b.
