I am trying both. Neither work. I am wondering if it is the cable. I just ordered a null modem cable, so we'll see if that does the trick. The instructions on the M100 site regarding cables is not simple enough for me to understand. "You will need a full-null cable for Model T to DOS connection. The Cable Diagram will shows the connections needed (crossing DSR/DTR and RTS/CTS lines as well as send/receive). This is called "Full Null". Club100 no longer provides CompLink Cables as a standard item, but if you are in dire need, contact Ken ([email protected]) and I'll see what I can do."
