I had my 128K Mac upgraded to a Mac+ yesterday.
I noticed that the DB9 connector I was using
for the modem had been changed to an 8 pin
circular thing.
Included with the upgrade package was a 6" long adaptor
cable with a female DB9 at one end and a funny circular
connector at the other.
Great! I thought. I proceeded to connect up my old modem
cable with the DB9 to the adaptor cable.
Arrrgghh! I get no DTR light on my modem. If anyone else has
had this experience I'd be grateful to share in the solution.
I used the following pinouts in making my modem cable:
DB9 Pin DB25 Pin
1 1
3 7
5 2
6 20
7 8
9 3
Thanks

On some modems, there is a group of DIP switches in the back that control various parameters. One of those switches controls whether the modem or the computer will send a DTR. I flipped the switch so that the modem sends the DTR signal, and all has been fine since. Hope this helps. Craig Anderson
