Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories - Naperville, Illinois Lines: 12 There is a company called Tigertronics in California making these beasties. I don't know their phone number, but they're in BYTE magazine. I personally bought one and use it to connect an EPSON RX-80 to a serial port on a MASSCOMP system. It works fine, except that it needs hardware RTS/CTS flow control and does not support XON/XOFF (it's not an intelligent convertor). Fortunately my masscomp uses Central Data serial I/O cards, which handle EIA flow control with no problem. The price was about $70. This was several years ago; I hope they're still in business. -Bill Vogel, (312) 416-4116 ...ihnp4!ihlpm!wrv
