[Xastir] Xastir and TM-D710A

[Russell Handorf]

David,

You're right, I am plugged into the Data jack. The cable that I picked 
up that stated it would plug into the PC/Comm jack wouldnt fit (center 
prong and other odd shapes). I think it looks much like a S-Video cable 
connector, so tonight I'll hack one apart and make my own cable for this.

A little bit of PEBKAC :)

Thanks,
