Beware PC cables - they so often don't fully handshake.
I would never trust a cable unless I saw its pinouts.
Both PC handshake lines (RTS/CTS) must be linked through for reliable
operation - crossover for PC <-> Qx0. For 'real' QL use, that means QL
DTR/CTS to PC (or other) RTS/CTS (crossover for ser2).
Are you using Hermes?
I assume sernet is still incompatible with superHermes.
