I just recieved Email from Paul that this is not the case at all!  He
has interest in making a fix, but he needs our help.  Here is his letter
to me:

Unfortunately, ADT is not compatible with the GS serial port. You need
a Super Serial Card, even if you have a GS.

I am not happy with this, and I have had several requests for a fix,
but the problem is, I don't have a GS or GS docs. I thought the serial
port was fully compatible with the SSC but apparently it isn't. I asked
for help on the newsgroups a while ago but I got no useful replies.
I will ask again. This is infuriating because it probably could be
fixed with a little patch.
