Just as a followup - I am able to transmit and run ADT (either stock 1.22 or
ADTcc 1.21b) on the Laser, and either the DOS or Windows version of ADT on
the PC. No luck - I never get past the "AWAITING ANSWER FROM PC." stage.

Here's the sequence I'm using:
- Boot the Laser with a DOS 3.3 disk containing ADT.CC
- Ctrl-3-Reset - to enter 3.6MHz mode
- Ctrl-P-Reset - to enter Port Config: Port 2 as 8/1, 19200, No Parity, No
Echo, Yes LF, No Zap

At this point, if I launch a suitably configured term program (e.g.
HyperTerminal) and on the Laser type PR#2 and IN#2 I can drive the Laser via
the PC keyboard with no problems.

- BRUN ADT.CC - launches just fine
- On the PC, launch ADT.EXE - DOS or Windows version
- Try any command - no luck. DIR just hangs, Send always gets AWAITING
ANSWER FROM PC.

ProTerm 2.1 can transfer files successfully, so I'm baffled. Any more
thoughts?

I am unable to connect to apple2.org.za. Is the site having connectivity
issues? No problems with any other sites - I can go to http://www.org.za and
nslookup tells me the IP is 66.206.18.224 and I get timeouts trying to ping.
Is it just me?
