        Well, I am just blowing steem, but I spent a total of 24.86 bucks
on the link!  First I needed the plug, at radios shack I bought a 3.5mm)
no sotablo(you know, the one with the screws) plug with a convertab to
2.5, then the wire, had to buy 25 foot spool of that wire because they
did not have any smaller!  Bought non soterable plug for my pallal port,
10 diodes, shrink wrap, a cover for the pallelport, and some nedle nose
pliers, becase you have to crimp the wires onto the pallal port
connector.  Its works and is worth it, but If you don't have a sodering
Iron, it tends to be more expencive.  1.29 vs the 2.39 for the parll port
connector, .99 vs 2.89 for the soterless phone plug connector.  If anyone
wants the accull part numbers to get at a radio shack, mail me...though I
do recomend you get a sodding Iron, you have problems with the phone jack
because the wires somtimes touch and you cant stick anything inbtween the
metal connectors....
