I`m trying to make a connection through the serial port and i have made a couple of cables following /nil.rpc1.org/psp/remote.html guide without any succes. I think he doesn't explain anything about the pins of the db9 you have to short-circuit.

It seems that pins 1(Carrier Detect) and 6(Clear To Send) of the db9 are in short-circuit but i don't know why, neither if this is necessary or just optional and if there must be other pins in short-circuit.

Thanks
