I don't think you need a NULL-modem cable, just a normal modem cable
with a gender adaptor. A null-modem cable is for linking 2 computers,
but you want to link 2 accessories with one pretending to be a computer,
the TI, so you would need the normal accessory to caomputer cable, or
the one already hooking your modem to you computer. Confused? You
shouldn't be. Now you need a gender changer on the TI end. This turns
it from the accessory end (m?f?) into a computer end. Got it?
I am not sure of the genders, just look at it to find out.
