It's easy to buy/scrounge/make a null modem cable, and any one will do.

Oh, I know that, I was just looking ahead and thinking to eliminate any variables on the unlikely chance that I have problems with my empeg when it arrives. Knowing for sure that the cable either is or is not correct would be helpful. Don't really care too much which it is, just so I know!

Here's an idea... I betcha that there are modem to null-modem converters that you would just attach to one end of the incorrect cable (like a Dongle) that might be less expensive and less costly to ship than the replacement cables?
