I hacked up a cable to use it as a terminal to an HP 9000/380, the
pin-outs had been posted here earlier (stupid me). Next thing to do
is get the acoustic modem to work, maybe like this:
Acoustic modem 680 Ohm 1/2 W + 12V - Zyxel
--------------/\/\/\----------|'|'|'|'--------- Red
----------------------------------------------- Green
(Stolen from www.epanorama.net)
(Simulated line, normal telephones are at least twice as expensive
than cell-phones around here)
I just need to whack the Zyxel a bit to start handshaking
blind.
