Similar problem with Roy Wood. Oddly Berndt was there, but Roy's config
was fine. It was simply he used a null modem lead to a QL. Wiring a
'proper' crossover lead (as I described previously) got the link going
instantly.
Mind you a lot of QLs have faulty serial ports - and if a port has not
been used for intensive two way work, it may never have show up.
Oh yes of course - with a QL one can use a straight through serial lead
via ser1.
I haven't seen the help files - surely they give the correct wiring?
