Russ- Hi!  Just recently, we purchased a package called MacLink Plus, 
from DataViz Inc.  It comes with a cable and software for the Mac and the 
IBM.  I tried it out the other day, and it worked great.  It was very 
easy to use and supported a speed of 57600 baud easily.  It also comes 
with translators to change one word processor format to another.  We have 
it hooked up between a Mac II and an IBM PC that has a Hauppage 386 board 
installed.  The cost was under $200.  I haven't used it a lot, but I was 
very impressed with the way it worked.  By the way, all word processors 
are not supported at each side (unfortunately, this included our IBM 
favorite, XyWriter), but there is a program called XWORD that I found on 
the MIC at MACC board (608-263-6057) that fills in some of the gaps. 
Hope this helps you some.
          Gary Pulsinelli
PS I think we got it mail order from an ad in MacWorld.  GP
