Hello,   
      
   Here's a wiring arrangement          Amiga             PC   
   that should work for SLIP or         ~~~~~~            ~~~~~   
   PPP between Amiga 25 pin and         FG   1   
   PC 9 pin serial ports.  It is   
   an ordinary DTE-to-DTE "null         TXD  2 ----\/---- 3 TXD   
   modem" cable that would also         RXD  3 <---/\---> 2 RXD   
   let you log into the PC from   
   the Amiga if you were running        RTS  4 ----\/---- 7 RTS   
   unix on the PC, or let you           CTS  5 <---/\---> 8 CTS   
   log into the Amiga if it's   
   running BBS software that            DTR 20 ----\/---- 4 DTR   
   supports a direct connection.        DSR  6 <-+-/\-+-> 6 DSR   
   I've a vague recollection            DCD  8 <-'    `-> 1 DCD   
   that the Amiga could be   
   persuaded to dump information from its serial port in the event of a crash and   
   I wouldn't be surprised if AmigaDOS could redirect its console to/from the   
   serial port.   
      
   Power supply pins (stay away from these) follow.  These pin- outs are straight   
   from the web, so check for yourself before using them, or any pins other than   
   the eight shown above. Use good screened/shielded untwisted cable and connect   
   the screen to pin one (frame ground) at the Amiga end only.

   Hope this helps,
