	A friend of mine recently gave me a US Robotics PASSWORD/COURIER
	300/1200 bps modem.  The problem is that the cabling coming out
	of the unit is for an Osbourne box, which means that it is a 
	DB9 connector (9-pin) with only 4-wires actually attached.

	I opened up the case and found that the internal end of the cable
	is connected to a 9 (or 10?) pin "edge connector".  Does anyone
	out there know which pins are which on the edge connector?  What
	I want to do is to attach this guy to a vt100 type terminal with
	a DB25 connector.  Do I have to get a hold of US Robotics and 
	purchase a cable from them or can I *easily* build one myself?
	I am not a "hardware type", but feel I could build my own if I
	what pin did what on the edge connector inside the modem...

	Thanks in advance for any advice...
