Worse than that, I do not even recall a pass-thru connector. The RD-232
input was via a DB-25 on the end of a pigtail cable attached at the rear
of the case. Also at the rear are the RJ-11 connector for phone line, a
pin jack type power input connector, a slide switch for power, and a
4-place DIP switch.

If yours has another DB-25 (I don't know where they'd put it), then we are
talking different critters.
