And to make things eaven easier you can buy little 1" square MAX232
modules that can easily be wodified for this application.

I have only one other question.  Why would one want to change the
address to the same as the RS232 PAK?  If you leave it where it is
and make a modifed device driver you could then have three serial
ports as well as the console.

I am debating between this mod or using my modem pack as a basis
for a uDrive disk module.  No sense wasting it by keeping it as
a 300 baudmodem.  :-)
