Re: Cannot get ADT to work

["Ivan" <ivanf@aintegra.com>]

Thanks everyone for the tips.  I am using Windows on the PC side and
Hyperterminal.  I am also using a couple of Laplink cables for the null
modem and I had to get a MM genderbender to plug it into the Apple.

I will try out the troubleshooting steps as per all the suggestions and
determine if the SSC is working correctly.  I know that if I can't get the 2
machines to communicate and dump the text files over to the apple, ADT won't
work either.  I'll give it a shot and see what happens, thanks
