My PC dial-up router does not have USB ports, has two RS232 ports, and
is running Freesco (linux). The PSTN service here is unreliable, and I
want to use GRPS as a fallback. I use an SE K300i and a J300i (on
Orange, good for Internet at GBP 1.00 per occasional day). The SE
DRS-11 cable will connect either of these phones to the RS232 port on
the computer. I odered a DRS-11 cable from Amazon, but they've just
cancelled the order saying the cable's discontinued. (Amazon tried for
several weeks to source it, before finally giving up.) Expansys also
list the cable as discontinued.
If the SE DRS-11 cable is no longer available, does anyone know of
another SE-compatible RS232 cable I could try instead?
I posted about this in uk.telecom.mobile, and someone there suggested
Ebay for finding a cable. I've never been down that route, and before
I go, does anybody here know of a third party equivalent cable, or a
stockist who still has the SE cable, preferably in or near the UK?
Thanks for any help,
