I can't quite glean from the DSi or 650 manuals whether these are "standard", or null modem. I need to buy cables for the main and auxiliary connections.

Any help?

Anyone? Buehler?

What do you mean by saying 'null modem' on a multichannel audio connector?

Both devices have the same symmetrical pinout, so a fully populated 1:1 DB25Male-Male cable will do. However, as it carries symmetrical/balanced audio, you should buy/get a dedicated twisted pair cable.

I would assume Odyssey has it.

Sorry, I come from a telecommunications background where there are two types of serial cable, regular and with two pins reversed.

I hadn't thought of Odyssey. I'll give them a call.

Thanks,
