A similar experience happened to me.  I have an early Apple IIc, and I just
bought a 2400 baud modem.  I could see from the indicator lights that I was
sending and receiving data, but there was no output to my moitor.  After 
many phone calls, I was told that Apple recognized a problem with the IIc's
serial ports, and they would cover the charges for a motherboard replacement.
My local dealer was able to make the repair.  I was disappointed when this
did not releave my problem, and it was then I discovered that the IIc requires
a null modem cable.  I just thought you might be interested in hearing about
Apple picking up the bill.
