QUESTION: Are there any known problems with the MacIIsi serial ports
using System 6.0.6?
I have a Mac IIsi on which I am running both uAccess (a Communications
Toolbox application) and the new DoveFAX fax modem. I also have a
Hayes 1200 modem hooked up to compare.
In both cases, the Hayes 1200 modem and the DoveFAX 2400 modem, I
can send data to the modem via a terminal emulator, and see the SD
light blink on both modems (separately of course). Neither of the
modems echo the modem commands, but the DOVE blinks the RD light as
if to echo and the Hayes does not blink the RD light. No data ever
appears in the terminal window.
Neither of the modems will work. Commands sent to them appear to work, but
the data sent to the computer is never seen. They both use different
cables, and the DoveFAX works on my IIfx. The DoveFAX does not use
the CTB, so its probably not that. I also figured that a hardware
problem would be unlikely to hit both the modem and printer port on
just the RD line exactly the same, although I am sure it is possible.
