Howdy. I was helping a friend with Amax 1.0. We were trying to download some stuff off our local unix machine (well hoping to anyway.) He had a copy of some terminal program called Z-term for the Mac. I brought my low-tech Concord Data Systems 2400-baud modem over to try and get the files. I have to do my own dialing with this modem. DTR went high when Z-Term started up. I called and connected with no problems. When I hit return, I could see TX flickering, but I wasn't waking up the NIU's at the other end. My serial cable is wired TX, RX, DTR, DCD, CTS, RTS, GND. Do Mac Terminal programs require x-on x-off or some other bizarre RS232/422 lines. I DID make sure there were no checks besides X-on X-off on the flow control menu option of Z-term. -- <------------------------------------------------------------------------------> < FRANK BRANHAM | Currently at work on a VERY deranged > < Georgia Institute of Technology | RPG.
