hello all ....
i guess its time i stop being a 'lurker' after seeing all
the good info thats come across the net.... and ask the experts
what i am doing wrong! i am trying to get to H89's (z80 cpu) to
talk to each other. i first tried going rs-232 cables to a modem
on each machine then a direct phone connect cable instead of going
into the wall i went to the other modem with xmodem running on
each machine. but i could not get the modems to "See" each other.
next step i tried to use a null modem cable going from one modem
port to the other. no luck there either. i guess this weekend ill
try a regular rs-232 cable from modem port to modem port and see
if that will work. all the time i am using xmodem for software.
any and all assistance will be appreciated.
thank-you in advance

a big THANK-YOU for all the people who responded to my plea for assistance! after getting one of those little rs232 testers from trash-shack i discovered that the magnolia cpm in this H89 switched the physical ports with the port numbers in the software hense.....once i used a male 2 female converter and plugged in to the other port everything is running great so far.
