speakup, grml and braille blazer

[Kerry Hoath]

put a gender changer on the blazer to change the serial port from female to 
male on the blazer.
plug a 25-pin female to 9-pin mail into the converter.
plug the null modem from converter to pc.

You could also get a 25-pin null modem cable; gender bend the blazer end 
then convert it down to 9-pin on the pc end.

the cable needs to be null modem and you need things of the right gender as 
the port on the blazer for serial is female.
Regards, Kerry.

Well I have a db9 null modem cable, but how would I do this
configuration? the db9 end will not fit on the blazer and vice versa.
More insight on this would greatly be appreciated.
