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." -- /\--. John A.
