No, the only way to change the pinout is to change the source code and
recompile the whole works. What you can do, is go to radio shack and get a
RS-232 jumper box, which is 2 25 pin d-sub connectors connected together
with a small circuit board. It comes with some jumper wires, and you can,
for example, connect a jumper from pin 1 on one connector to pin 5 on
another, or whatever configuration you need. They cost about $3.00 or $4.00.
