    ok, here it is...
        patched xcom9 and bbterm?  no, instead i used the BITBANG.ar
descriptors        and driver when i was using xcom9 and bbterm through the
        bit banger.
        type and parity were set properly
        ACIAPAK and T2 are in the boot file. (i used a fresh copy of the
        system master to boot with)
        the cable is a 6' shielded rs232 cable from radio shack.
        i also installed the jumpers between pins 6, 8, and 20 as
        i was advised in a prievious msg here.
        this setup works fine with BOTH the telcom package in the
        level 1 version of deskmate, AND with Ultimaterm. (am using
        Ultimaterm and the above setup now)
        bbterm starts up normally, but in terminal mode, nothing is echoed
        to the screen, and none of the AT commands give any responce from
        the modem.
        xcom9 also starts normally, but echo's random characters,
        the following is an example....
ff`ff~`Fxf~`@f`f`~~x~``fx`~~xxx`fxfxf`~fxfffff`d~`xxfx>ffx~~fx`x`~~`xx~`f~~xx@f~`f~f``f`fff~ffff>ffff8ffff~xxf~f|~fdf~fffFf~fff
ffDxffDff~8ff

     this looks similar to what i've seen when Ultimaterms baud rate
        was not set correctly, however i got this output after i had
        used XMODE to set the type and baud.  (though i also got the
        same kind of output before using XMODE too)

          thanks for any help...
