Hey guys, havn't asked you a question lately :)

Here goes:

Need to connect two linux boxes, one as VT100 terminal to the other. What cable should I use?
Is an old modem cable good for he job or do i need to modify it?

You'll need a null modem cable. Here's a couple of links you might want to look over:
