Re: speakup, grml and braille blazer

["Nick G" <nick@hkcradio.com>]

Null modem isn't an RJ11 cable...It's an old term for a special kind of 
serial cable, used to connect two like devices together, for instance, a 
direct RS232 connection between two machines.  One comes with the BNS 
interface kit.
Thanks,
Nick
