More connection woes IIe <-> PC



Ok, I found a null-modem cable and I hooked it up to my PC's COM2 port.
Then I hooked the other end (with a DB9 to DB25 adaptor & a gender-bender)
to the super-serial card on my IIe.  I've tried to use ADT, but to no avail.

What am I supposed to see on the screen when first transferring ADT to the
apple 2.  I followed the instructions to a "T":

connect the 2 computers
type "IN#1" to redirect input to the serial card (it's in slot 1, since I
was using it for my printer)
type <ctrl-a>6B to make the SSC do 300bps mode
start a comm program on the PC (I chose hyperterm)
set it to 300bps 8N1
send ASCII text file (adt.dmp) to apple 2 over COM2

I'm a little frustrated at this point.  I don't see anything when I type on
the PC (neither on the apple2, or on the PC)  I see nothing when trying to
xfer the adt.dmp file to the apple2.  I'm assuming that I don't really have
them hooked up correctly.  Will just your standard null-modem cable from
CompUSA work? (with proper adapters)  I reset the dip switches on the SSC as
noted at the end of the readme for ADT.

Is there something I'm missing?

Help!
