you need to specify the end connectors (male/female, 9/25 pins), and
you will probably need also a female to female convertor.
The cable I got works well with C-kermit under OS2, it should work
with mac but I never tried it. Supposedly there exist a sort of thing
called a "fake null modem cable" which will allow only half-duplex
serial connections. Be carefull not to get one.
