Yes, I realise that I'm not _TOTALLY_ stupid, I do realise PLUG stands
for Perth Linux Users Group, and maybe I should have mentioned it as well 
but I want to intend to use the cable, along with a null modem connector
to connect two PCs together to be able to connect from one to the other
using minicom, one is a Linux box with out a monitor etc and the other is
(suprisingly) Linux box. The problem is that the Linux box with no monitor
sometimes looses its network connection, and I want to be able to access
via the serial port to re-establish the network connection, or at least be
able to shut it down gracefully.
