Hi all, I originally made my own modem cable for my IIgs useing the pin diagram in the ImageWriterII manual. Well I wanted to try the Litfal BBS software the was Ul'ed last week or so and when someone calls my line the modem does not pick up. You hear much sruggling and then it disconnects. Could this be a problem w/ the way I wired my cable? If so could someone please send the the proper pinout? Apple IIgs to RS-232. Another oservation, When I am talking to someone and want to go online with them I have to be the one that types ATD and the other person ATA. If we do it the other way around I get that struggling and disconnect. Thanks....any ideas... Andy Kress PYC121 at URIACC Apple II: The power to take over the world!

Ok let's try this again. Could someone take their modem cable and a multitester and tell me what pins on the RS-232 side of the cable are hooked to what pins on the GS mini plug pins? Thanks in advance.... Andy Kress PYC121 at URIACC Apple II: The power to take over the world!
