I think the problem was that we were waiting for him to tell us what sort
of HP 3000 box he was connecting to.  For a Series III or early Classic
or DTC with a modem connection, you're absolutely right.  For a DTC with
3-wire connection, there ain't no pin 7.  I think pin 1 is used instead.
In any case, no crossover is required.  Ross gave me a good quote on
this: "The HP 3000 is wired as if it were a modem."
