You esentially have it correct, but I would only use four connections. Like so ST Ibm ( whatever ) 1) ----------- 1) 2) ----------- 3) 3) ----------- 2) 7) ----------- 7) In this configuration I have been using the same program as you on the Ibm, and PC Intercomm on the ST, with both in Kermit and 9600 Bps with no problems. I even use this configuration to port to and from my trusty ole' 8-bit, with Chamelion on the 8-bit and still at 9600 Bps. -rich.....
