     I have an IBM PC XT clone running MSDOS 3.3.  I've been trying to
connect my PC to a terminal I have in my room but I can't even get it
to direct output out to the terminal.  I have done 
MODE COM1:1200,E,7,1   and that works ok, but when I type 
DIR >COM1              it gives a write fault writing device error.

     Could someone please tell my how my null modem cable should be
set up??  I've tried 3 different configurations so I'm open to 
suggestions.   Thanks.
