I've seen such a caveat. Terminal we used to play with had a DCE-style (!) DB25 connector, just like a modem; but it was wired as plain DTE, so none of our ready-to-use null-modem cables worked, and a "normal" straight DTE-DCE cable didn't work either. So we were forced to solder a "crazy" nullmodem ourselves. -- nic-hdl: ST73-RIPE
