EIA-232C isn't "c" for "conditional"..
it's the 4th edition of the spec..and for that matter it's no longer current:
the 6th edition is...(version E)
EIA/TIA-232-E Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-
Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data
Interchange (ANSI/EIA/TIA-232-E-91) July, 1991)
(and never approved? golly it sure doesn't look that way...)
