Can anyone tell me what type of connector size it uses or if The serial cable is an odd-ball. Its two plugs look like the RJ-45 plugs used with twisted pair ethernet cables, but I don't think that they are true RJ-45 plugs. The cable should come with an adapter that allows you to plug the unit into a 9-pin serial port. I have a DECTalk Express, but its completely dead. It won't even run on batteries. I might be able to send you a cable. Not sure about the AC adapter. It is a monstrous, brick-like growth of a wall-wart, and it will take up space on your power strip! I have one of these as well. -- Chris
