Yes, I tried the null modem cable between the Amiga and my clone. I found
that ProComm offered the best control, but would not work above 9600 baud.
I finally settled on using Telix with a host script. It's lets me connect
at 19,200 and gives me limited control over the IBM. I don't understand why
I can't connect at 38,400 though, as Telix works fine on my HST at 38,400.
I was using JRComm on the Amiga side.
The whole process is a little painful at the moment, as I only have one
monitor and no switch box. I was actually hoping that someone would have
written a device driver that would let me copy files to the clone using the
serial port. I'm sure that I could do much better than 19,200 if there were
less overhead.
