    Not really. The wire in the telephone handset cords has a higher
resistance than the original Kaypro cords and won't work reliably. They
will sometimes work for a while. You can try it yourself by checking with
an ohmmeter.

    I used to be a Kaypro dealer and this was a frequent problem when
customers replaced the cord with one that looked the same.
