Re: A2 BBS via Mac serial connection

Hi,

Sounds interesting. If you get a chance any possibility of posting how
you got it to work? I'm interested to know which port on the router
(serial or console - I assume the serial?) you have your II connected
to and how (if at all) you had to hack your cable. Also interested to
hear about the challenges in the config and how you got around
them/got it working.

Cheers,
