Thanks, Clark. Here's the lowdown from Princeton, no
less, that got me connecting, tsf'ing files and
controlling the remote desktop (via Timbuktu 3.0):

"SYNOPSIS:
I get error messages when printing to a local
StyleWriter (or any serial printer) from my PowerBook.
SOLUTION:
A PowerBook computer with a single serial port (190,
200, 500, 2300, and 5300 series) introduces some
variables to serial printing. Three things must be
true to print to a serial printer with a single serial
port PowerBook computer:
* AppleTalk must be set to inactive in the Chooser or
something other than LocalTalk must be selected in the
Network control panel.
* If you have an internal modem you will need to
respectively set the PowerBook, PowerBook Setup, or
Express Modem control panel to External, Normal, or
uncheck 'Use internal modem instead of modem port'
(see above). The location of this
setting will depend on what version of the modem and
system software you have.
* When selecting the serial printer in the Chooser,
you must select the modem port or the combined
printer/modem port. Do not select the printer port.
This information came from a Powerbook FAQ available
in the Mac Tech Notes Library on the Web.
