We're using a Paralink and Mac Daisy Link software to connect
an IBM Wheelwriter typewriter to our Mac.  It actually worked--
one day.  But we haven't been able to get it to work since.

What complicates the issue is the QuadraLink board installed
in the Mac.  The Mac Daisy Link people say they've had trouble
with QuadraLinks.  But even when we put the Paralink cable directly
into the modem port and disable the QuadraLink ports, we can't 
get the typewriter to work.
