I have now tried several different approaches to this but I have now
got the hang on binhex and then unstuff to sort out the packages ready
for the package loader to work with. 

- a Mac to Imagewriter cable, the mini din end to the newton and the
other to the serial port of the PC. 

- a mini 8 cable with mini dins at both ends which I intend to use to
connect to my HP DJ850C

- a cable described as AT -> Mac. This has a mini din for the newton
end and a female connector for the PC serial port. 

I kicked off Windows terminal and the latter cable seems to send
differing data to the PC depending on whether I try to connect to
DOS/Windows, Mac serial printer or Appletalk printer. Therefore data
is leaving the Newton. 

But; and this is the problem, the Newton just hangs waiting for a
response that never seems to come and eventually times out. The
package installer occasionally locks up one of my PCs, a PC which has
one serial port, COM1 and an internal modem on COM4. The only ports
which the package installer recognises on this PC are COMs 2 and 3
which aren't even installed.

Any suggestions at all anyone; any suppliers in the UK who may help,
anyone selling a Windows connection kit ?

TIA
