Hi Scott!

     Pete's reply to you was correct except Fred's on board connector is just a
6 pin connector with pin 2 used as an index.  My connections are as follows:

     PT          PT          Modem
     BD         DB-25        DB-25

      1  ----->   8   ----->    8
      2 (not used - index)
      3  ----->   7   ----->    7
      4  ----->  20   ----->   20
      5  ----->   3   ----->    2
      6  ----->   2   ----->    3

You also may want to try jumpering as Pete suggested (if you do, disconnect the
wire going back to the PT BD).


     I suspect you may also have another problem which I forgot about. Fred's
device drivers 'ain't' the best in the world.  Originally, I could get no echo
from the modem.  (Ever try to use kermit blind - lot's of fun).  I assume
you're using OSK 3.3 (I'm still mostly 3.2 with a coupld of 3.3 modules).  Do
you have an sc68681 driver for Term (or T1) and T2 and a sc68681a driver for T2
and T3?

     I have a single driver for all four ports. It is a hacked version 15 - the
crc is 209711.  I got this from Simmy Turner.  I'll ask him if its OK to send
it to you (his stuff, you know).

Ed
