Apple IIC 2 PC Help!!!



Ok, I went on some of the apple sites and got the pin outs for a null modem cable. I carefully made one up. I checked and rechecked the wiring. It checks ok. This is how I wired it:

       Apple 5 Pin                          PC 9 Pin

        Pin 1 DTR -------------------------> Pin 6 DSR
        Pin 2 TD --------------------------> Pin 2 RD
        Pin 3 GND -------------------------> Pin 5 GND
        Pin 4 RD --------------------------> Pin 3 TX
        Pin 5 DSR -------------------------> Pin 4 DTR

In addition I shorted pins 1 & 6 together on the pc side.

I am running hyper terminal on the pc set at 9600, 8N1, and the same on the apple IIC. I am using a program on the apple called Proterm. I am using apple's unstandard way of wiring the 5 pin connector (it doesn't match up with the numbering on the connector itself). It is as follows (male and looking at it from the front).

  1       5
   2     4
      3

This is driving me batty!! Has anyone else played around with this? What are you using? I have no way of getting stuff from the internet over to the apple except through my pc. I was going to transfer from the pc to the apple using terminal programs, but I must be missing something. Before I forget it, I can set hyper terminal to send using hardware control, or software. What should it be? I don't know what the apple program is using (Proterm). I have no documentation on the program.

Thanks for reading, and any help!!
