I've got a Mac SE HD20.  I've also got a Robotics Courier
2400 modem that I've been using with a Wyse terminal at
home.  I figured it would be a good idea to get a modem
cable to connect the Mac to the modem so I picked up a
"Mac+ Mac SE to Hayes Modem" cable at Fry's last weekend.

I plugged it all together and fired up a copy of MacTerminal
that I had used before on my old Mac+.  I got zilch!  Absolutely
no echo from the modem.  The little modem lights don't blink
either when I type at the keyboard or when I plug/unplug the
cable.

Suspecting the cable, I gave it to a friend who tried it out
on his Mac+ - he had no problems.  He was using a different
terminal emulator program.

I'd be grateful if anyone with a similar setup can suggest what
I should look at next.
