Yeah - ATD is for dialing out (ATDT for dialout with touch-tone), and
ATA is for Answering a call.

I was able to get the "No Comm" option to work.  With Windows
HyperTerminal, adding Line-Feeds to line ends and forcing 7-bit ASCII,
and on the Apple //e end doing a IN#2 and a PR#2.  Works fine!

Guess I'll just work with Apple Access II for now until I figure out
why I can't get ProTERM to work.  I've tried just about everything I
can think of.

Oh, I was reading the ADT docs and it talks about setting up the two
DIP switch blocks on the Super Serial Card, but it also talks about a
TERMINAL/MODEM jumper, which my card doesn't have... strange..

Thanks for the comments!
