Hi Everyone,
Sorry for asking what may seem like an obvious question, but I can't seem
to figure this simple thing out. How should I connect the TXD, RXD, and
ground to the pc? Do i put a 3-pin socket in the  TXD, RXD, and ground
indicators on the digital board and use a serial 9-pin male connector, or
do i put a 3-pin pinhead into TXD, RXD and GND, and use a 3-pin female
connector? Also, looking at pinouts, it seems like as if TXD is 2, RXD is
3, and GND is 5. Is this correct (do i only connect those 3 pins, and leave
everything else hanging)?

Sorry, and thanks in advance for the help!
Nelson Liu
