[OM] Off the camera TTL, a cheaper way?

Hi, I've been getting the digest for a while and enjoy learning new 
things and read about all the hopeless Zuikoholics on this site.

I was wondering if there isn't an easier way to get off the camera TTL 
auto.  With my OM-2n and T-20, I'd need to get a TTL autoconnector 4, 
TTL autoconnector T20, and an autocord T.  Buying all three would be 
quite expensive.

I just bought a simple flash extension cord for off camera use, it 
basically consists of two hot shoes connected by a cord.  Very much 
like the Altrex Duosync Cord 'N' on Tom Scales site.  My question is: 
If every contact on the hot shoe is connected to the proper contact on 
the flash, wouldn't this result in affordable TTL auto?  Or are there 
more complex issues like the impedance of the cord not being properly 
matched?  

Thanks,

Marten
