RE: [PLUG] R280LX / data cable / Linux

["Michael D. Barlow" <mdbarlow@erols.com>]

There are several cable vendors for phone serial cables and null modem 
adapter.  Try teledaptusa.com.  They have about every phone adapter under 
the sun as well as instructions.  If I am not mistaken they just came out 
with a palm gsm adapter for the erriccson.  The site is kind of cluttered, 
however the info and adapters are there.  I too picked up the direct cable 
for a startac to a visor.   Verizon has an access service that is about 
14.4 with fairly clear instructions on how to connect.  I spent about a 
week researching all the sites that google brought up with key words 
cellular cable, or adapter.
