: Ok, I'm trying to follow these instructions:
:
: Alternative PC Setup
:
:      On the PC, start a comm program, set it for 300 baud N81,
and
: ASCII-upload (not Xmodem or any other protocol but a straight
text
: upload). Using HyperTerm, you would click on "Transfer" and do
a
: "Send Text File". (See the example below.)

This is fine.

: Example: For Hyperterm, go to the File menu and set up a New
Connection
: profile. It should be "Direct to COM 1" (or whatever COM port
you use.
: Configure for 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop bit, 300 baud. Set Flow
Control
: to "None". Other settings- Emulation can be TTY and, in ASCII
Setup,
: nothing should be checked in the "ASCII Sending" area. I have
just "Wrap
: lines that exceed terminal width" checked in ASCII Receiving.
Set
: Line Delay to about 400 ms.

This is fine.

:      Once you telecom program is set up, you can boot a DOS 3.3
diskette
: on the IIgs and set up things as described earlier. From the
Applesoft
: prompt enter IN#2.

Missing here is the set up of the modem port on the IIgs.
Enter the Control Panel by holding OPTION on boot, or by
pressing OPEN-APPLE, Control, ESCape. Enter the Control
Panel. Now go into slots and make sure slot #2 is set to
Modem, then go back to the previous screen and go to the
modem entry and set your baud rate to 300, N, 8, 1. Now
if IN#2 doesn't work, then try PR#2.

: On the PC comm program, select a Text or ASCII transfer (e.g.
like
: Send Text File if using HyperTerm) and pick the file adtgs.dmp
to send.

This should work.

: On your IIgs screen, you should see code being entered. The
process
: should end with ADT being BSAVEd on your DOS 3.3 diskette.

This is correct.

: ------------------
: I have purchased a Mac modem cable
: (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?
: Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=15&pcount=&Product_Id=16154#)
: I also have a PC Null Modem cable that goes from the 9 pin
serial com
: port on the backplane of the pc to a 25 pin connector that
plugs into
: the modem cable exactly.

Not sure, but the Mac modem cable might be wired NULL
so you might want to use a straight cable from the PC
to the Modem cable. Just a thought if the previous
stuff fails.

: When I type in IN#2 on the IIgs, the ] prompt comes right back
and when
: I hit SEND in Hyperterminal nothing happens on either system.

Get the above set and try, then repost your findings.

: When I type in PR#2 on the IIgs, the ] prompt goes away and the
cursor
: sits on the screen just blinking. When I type on the IIgs
keyboard, the
: PC hyperterminal screen displays weird characters.  It is me
typing, but
: the characters are screwed up.
:
: I know the connection is working because I can SEND from IIgs
to PC
: (though it's screwed up).  However, I cannot SEND from the PC
to the
: IIgs.  What am I doing wrong?

Do the Control Panel settings and let me know.  :o)

: Can anyone assist?

Can't get here until you've completed the above.
