Re: Super Serial trouble.

I haven't figured out the PR#1 command.  I was trying
to do a similar thing with an HP Deskjet printer and nothing
would happen.

In terminal mode on the PC, do you see anything being
typed?  It should be showing some characters.  Have you
tried running a terminal program on both ends to see if
you can type characters back and forth between the two
systems?  This would help you debug the speed and
parameter settings.  If they are correct, you would get
ASCII characters on the screen and if not, you would
get garbage characters on the screen.

Are you using Windows version of ADT if you're
in Windows?  I could never get DOS ADT to work for
me in Windows because it wouldn't recognize my com
ports correctly.
