Well, I changed ICLID to Port 2.
WinDBA connects & transfers now, and I can get HyperTerminal to connect, but all I get is the log-in header, entering the PW does nothing; cursor goes dead. That may be a different issue though.
At least I can use WinDBA now.
Edit >>>> But then again, there may be a problem with the older notebook or the older version of HyperTerminal. The newer notebook and the desktop both connect fine now with almost any cable, including a USB to Serial adapter cable. Both HT and WinDBA work.
So I guess I owe OldH2oSkier a coffee and a donut! :bow:

Was that something I was supposed to know? I've never seen that in any of the books.......
