I remember having one modem that didn't use a cable to connect to the computer, but that was only because it attached directly to the RS232 port. Certainly RS232 was the usual mode of connection!

You're right, but what does that have to do withanRS-232 serial cable?What did you hook your modem to the computer with?Phone cord with an RJ-ll connector. Even back when I did own a 300baud modem, installed in an Epson QX-10, it was phone cable...not RS-232.
