MOD-TAP is a line of products which enable you to use telephone type punch-blocks, multi-pair cable, modular jacks (RJ11) and other similar type phone equipment for connecting RS232 terminals. The particuler product which I mentioned is an RS232 connector (25 pin) which instead of having a cable comming out the back, has a phone jack (those cute little connectors used to plug your phone into the wall). They make 4 conductor and 6 conductor varieties (maybe 8 conductor also) plus system-DTE, terminal-DTE, system-DCE, terminal-DCE varieties. Anull modem cable consists of 1 System-DTE connector, 1 Terminal-DTE connector, and 1 phone cable with phone jacks. Their address is MOD-TAP system P.O. Box 706 Harvard MA, 01451 The stuff is used at DECUS by DEC to connect all their stuff together. Rg (usual disclaimer) -------
