nullmodem communication



Hi

I'm attempting to transfer files from a pc to an Apple //e enhanced with a super serial card but have problems.

My setup works wonderfully with ADT and also IN#2 and even PR#2. The SSC card is set up to ignore the modem signals. My cable is not a full cable, it has only rx, tx and ground.

I have downloaded several communications packages for prodos that I have tried. They all have the same problem, they refuse to receive but send ok. I'm suspecting it is because they enable the modemsignals and fails because of that. I have tried a normal loopback cable but this does not work either.

I wonder if there is any applications that would be able to receive a file (zmodem/ymodem or even xmodem) for prodos which doesn't hang itselves on such details (is made for nullmodem).

Is it maybe something I do wrong or it is just that I need to supply modemsignals, a better cable...

I'm using telix on the pc side, very nice, does nullmodem as one setting. (Telix is not freeware).
