Hey there, anyone with GGLabs experience? I can't tell if these units (GLink series) require an additional male or female cable? I wanted to get a serial to usb but I'm not clear on what to get.. any ideas?
thanks
They require Female connectors..

Another question perhaps?
According to the description, it's capable of 9600 baud for the LT version, have you tried this user port version? Would you happen to know if Image BBS or other BBS would support 9600?
GLINK-LT is a modern clone of the Commodore VIC-1011A RS232 User Port adapter for Commodore 8-bit computers. The adapter is fully supported by the standard Commodore BASIC at up to 2400 baud. Jumpers allow the card to be configured as a UP9600 for 9600 baud operation in Novaterm and Striketerm. A reset button and a 5V header are also provided for added convenience.

On the User Port Image does not run at 9600.. The software will run at speeds up to 38.4 on the cartridge port though. Not sure about other BBS softwares, whether or not they run at 9600 on the user port..

About 6 months ago I bought two GGLabs GLINK-LT RS-232 Userport adapters and I regularly use one in a breadbin with StrikeTerm 2014 to call BBSes at 9600 baud. I have it plugged into a Lantronix UDS-1100 Serial to IP converter which also supports most of the AT modem commands. After some experimentation, I found that the best results were obtained by setting hardware flow control in the UDS-1100, which the GGLabs adapter honors and abides. Thus, if the terminal program is getting bogged down with traffic, it has a means to hold off incoming data by way of the CTS/RTS control lines which are often not even connected on many (cheap) RS-232 adapters. It has been a rock solid combination and I much prefer it over my Wifi userport modem, which really struggles with some types of content - especially graphic games like Golf Solitaire. On the GGLabs GLINK-LT - it is rock solid at 9600 baud.
