Ok i found a cable here from when my dad worked on macs, and if i remember correctly it was to attach to a hayes 28.8 modem from an SE and SE/30. When i fired up ZTerm, it said, Unable to open Serial port, please choose another port., and it did the same chooseing the printer port.
Is it just because i probably have the wrong cable, or does my mac have problems? -Sean On January 09, 2004 12:23 am, John F.
