I don't own a //c, but it sounds like you don't have matching serial
configurations on the two computers. You need to ensure that the baud,
stop bits, and parity are set *exactly* the same on both machines.

Usually if you are getting your keypresses echoed on the other machine
as garbage it means incompatible serial setups.

I suggest you go to the ADTPro site and make sure you follow the steps
on the site closely. Ensure that both your PC and Apple have their
serial ports configured correctly (i.e. the same).

Also, try starting out at a lower baud rate - for example 9600 - to
test that things are working before trying to hit the higher speeds.

Hope this is of help. Let us know how you get on.

Cheers,
Mike
