[I've figured out that this post didn't make it out earlier, so here is my
 request for help again.]

I'm trying to use hardware handshaking between my Mac IIfx and an ATI 2400etc/e
modem.  My cable is wired:

DIN-8		DB25
--------------------
1		20
2		8
3		2
4		7
5		3
6		N/C
7		N/C
8		7

I've been told this is correct.  I'm using Smartcom II.  If I turn hardware
handshaking on with SC II and configure the modem using AT&K3 (or AT&F2 which
sets the modem up for V.42 operation) I can talk to the modem with no problems.
After I call a remote system and the modem goes on-line, though, I don't get
anything from the remote system, and the remote system doesn't get anything
from my system.  Sending '+++' gets the modem back into command mode, though.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
