Well folks, the problem was the following. I made my cable from ribbon cable
and solderless connectors that I got from Radio Shack. This arrangement
managed to reduce the voltage to the point where the Datec didn't konw
I was there. When I reduced the cable length to 10" all was well with the
regular 212. The PAL passess the local loopback test but will not auto-dial
since the Rom routine in the IBM wants to see DSR which the pal does not
provide. Tying pins 6 and 8 should fix this.
