   I recently purchased an old acoustic modem and hooked it up to my 
Apple IIgs.  I've been trying to use my gs as a dumb terminal with the 
built in terminal command in the IIgs, but I get garbage when I call 
anywhere.  I've checked my settings for data bits, stop bits, and the 
like.

   Does anyone know (just as a check) what pins connect from the IIgs
serial port to a standard RS232 cable?  Also, does anyone know what 
I'm doing wrong as far as the dumb terminal program?

   Thanks in advance.
