The LX200 manual tells you how to fix up a cable. You cant buy the whole
thing at Radio Shack, just the parts. Its an RS232 connector on one
end and a telephone modular connector on the other. Be careful, one step
on the cable and you wonder whats wrong with the LX200 power panel, or
your software, or your laptop, or etc., etc.
