Sernet should work on standard QL as long as you have the STX and SRX split serial ports - which means you need either SMSQ/E or H P Recktenwald's serial port extensions ("SimSer"). May have to use a low baud rate, 9,600 or lower, don't think 19,200 stands a chance on a QL. Obviously, for sernet, you have to have QDOS and/or SMSQ/E at both ends.It will work. It is the same pinout advised in 1988 for QuaLsoft file transfer, and worked for Roy Wood at Byfleet a few years ago.
Serial cabling - refer to the Serial QL article, volume 7 issue 1 page 28 of QL Today - cablign details from Tony Firshman so should work! (i.e. not from me!)
(assuming the serial port hardware is OK - it often isn't.
