Problems with PC to IIe transfer using ADT



I cannot make a transfer from my PC to my Apple IIe using ADT.  I have a
genuine Apple Super Serial card and a cable that I made myself following the
pinning recommendations in the ADT readme file.   My problem seems similar
to an earlier post in that when I type IN#2 at the Apple then <control-A>6B
and begin the initial file transfer from the PC for the ADT program, nothing
happens.  I have tried the arrow up and down on the serial card; one way it
turns on the 80 column card; the other way it says something like SSC:6B and
does nothing either.

So, I've got several questions and perhaps the collective may have the
answers.

1.  Using ADT, when I try to transfer the "adt.dmp" file via text-only
transfer, do I press <CR> after I do the <control-A>6B?  When I do, I always
get the "]" prompt, but sometimes there will also be a shaded, box or a
letter such as "r."

2.  I am using a PC running Win95.  I use the Hyperterminal program in Win95
as the comm program.  Is there a better program to use that anyone can
suggest?  With Hyperterminal, I set the baud rate to 300, but ADT is silent
on other issues such as Flow Control, Stop Bits, Parity, etc.  Any ideas if
this may be the problem.

3.  Could it be the null modem cable?  I made a cable from a 9 pin extension
cable.  Like the ADT readme file says, I ran the pins as follows (with a
ground wire also):

> Serial cable wiring
> PC (DB-9)     Apple (DB-25)
>
>         2 - 2
>         3 - 3
>         4 - 8
>         5 - 7

Is this possibly wrong? Are pins 1,7-9 simply not connected to the Apple?

4.  Could it be the DIP switches on the serial card?  I have again followed
the ADT readme file as follows:

> Super Serial card DIP settings: (19200 baud)
> SW1-1 off      SW2-1 on
>   1-2 off        2-2 on
>   1-3 off        2-3 off
>   1-4 off        2-4 on
>   1-5 on         2-5 off
>   1-6 on         2-6 off
>   1-7 on         2-7 off

Perhaps since I am using the <control-A> 6B code, which supposedly sets the
serial card to 300 baud, these are the wrong DIP Switch settings.  Does some
one have the <control-A> code that sets the card to receive at 19200 or the
DIP settings for 300?
Any help that you can give would be most appreciated.  Thanks.
