A device is an example of technology. A null modem cable is a device.
A user guide on networking with a null modem can be found in various places. One place is to check the information that came with the null modem. If one cannot find the answers they seek there, then another place is to check with a networking expert.
A null modem cable is a cable which connects two computers directly. The connection is made using serial interface and actually requires no modem or phone line. These connections can be useful for some legacy applications, however due to the availability of low cost networking equipment null modem connections are now rarely used.
You can find a Null Modem Serial Cable for sale from stores such as Walmart, Tiger Direct and Radio Shack. You can also get these cables from retailers such as Amazon.

null modem
A null modem is a cable connecting two serial ports with the input and outputs and device control lines crossed over, so the input pin on one port is connected to the output pin on the other, and so on. It is also called a 'cross-over cable'. A null modem allows two computers to be connected together using their serial ports without using modems (hence null modem). If you used a standard ('straight') serial cable, the two inputs would be connected together, and the two outputs, and so on, so the computers would not be able to communicate. Modems have their data and control pins reversed internally, so a 'straight' cable is used between a computer and a modem.
You can use a null-modem cable; alternately, you can use a USB or FireWire cable.
The code for null on moparscape is a big white bar at the top of the screen, then click help and go to item codes. It is at least six numbers.
The purpose of a null-modem cable is to permit two RS-232 "DTE" devices to communicate with each other without modems or other communication devices (i.e., "DCE"s) between them.
The Periodic Table Of Elements has a well defined order. The layout can be emulated easily since the arrangement is quite logical.The first step would be to define a struct containing the following members as a minimum:- atomic number (int - number of protons in its nucleus)- symbol (char* - short form of the element name)- name (char* - long form of the element name)i.e.:struct elementinfo {int atomicnumber;char *symbol, *name;};Other members can be added as your program develops.The next step is to arrange the table itself. If you're using Win32 or another graphical system, it's a matter of drawing a box (Win32 would require a MoveToEx() call and four LineTo() calls) and TextOut() (or a related function) for the atomic number and element symbol (centered horizontally and aligned top and bottom respectively).Including conio.h or curses.h would give you the ability to position the cursor and even change the text color, allowing for an alternate "graphical" method.To keep things simple, storing the elements in an array would require something akin to the following:struct elementinfo elementlist[]={{1, "H", "Helium"}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {2, "He", "Helium"},{-1, NULL, NULL},{3, "Li", "Lithium"}, {4, "Be", "Beryllium"}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL}, {0, NULL, NULL},{5, "B", "Boron"}, {6, "C", "Carbon"}, {7, "N", "Nitrogen"},{8, "O", "Oxygen"}, {9, "F", "Fluorine"}, {10, "Ne", "Neon"},{-1, NULL, NULL},...{-2, NULL, NULL}};In the above array, {0, NULL, NULL} represents a blank displayed for that particular cell, and {-1, NULL, NULL} represents a newline. The {-2, NULL, NULL} signifies the end of the table. The following for() loop would wrap around your display code like so:for (count=0; elementlist[count].atomicnumber!=-2; count++) {if elementlist[count].atomicnumber==-1) {// jump to next line of elements}else {// display current element}}Drawing this graphically, you'd have to keep track of the current cursor (X, Y) position.If you are sending this to stdout or another text stream (i.e. text file), you could draw each line, referencing the array of elements as you go. The list of elements would have to be stored in a nested array: the outermost array contains each line of elements in an array. This would do away with the {-1, NULL, NULL} terminating each line of elements.Extending this code to use classes would be relatively simple, but might only make sense if you were drawing this graphically storing each element as an object.The Lanthanides and Actinides, since they're displayed separately from the main table, would probably have to be stored separately for sake of convenience.Also, as laboratories continue to synthesize (or, on the rare chance, discover) new elements, the layout of the table may change (even drastically) to suit. Thus, the code would have to be altered accordingly.See the related links below for more ideas on how to design a program that displays the Periodic Table of Elements.(Note: Code originally posted was copyrighted.
