it's a null modem cable; that's what I ordered because the documentation said that was what was needed and what originally came with the BN. It is working.

I'm using 7.5 but may eventually upgrade to 8.1 which is the highest the MPower can go? Is that safe to do for using brltty right now? The actual highest version of KeySoft is I think 9.1 or maybe higher but 8.1 is as high as the MPower can go. The upgrade is $199 so I'm probably not going to rush out and buy it immediately.

and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You, Lord,
my rock and my Redeemer.
