I'm using the following: - Apple Access II 1.3.1 - Apple Super-Serial Card - Cardinal 2400 baud modem Got everything hooked up, but it appears that nothing ever gets out to the modem. In terminal mode from Access II I can't talk to the modem. +++ won't even get it's attention. Auto-dial just appears to spew the macro I'm sending into the bit bucket. The Cardinal is Hayes compatible. Do I need a null-modem cable with the super serial card? Can anyone offer some more trouble-shooting tactics that I could try to get this problem isolated? Many thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------ Mark D.Richter internet: markr%transarc.com@uunet.uu.net ------------------------------------------------------------
